Thanks -- I'm not the original poster that worked well. Now a followup question: Is there a similar command to filter out all the multiple spaces? In other words, I'd like to convert the text output from what comes out of col -b into something that would have each "paragraph" on a single long line so I can easily copy and paste it into a wiki. I guess I can do an awk or sed script (oh,no, something else to learn), but I wondered if maybe somebody has already written a program to deal with this. I tried apropos filter but didn't find anything so far (still reading man pages). Randy Kramer
