Tony, thanks not sure if I explained my problem properly my keywords are derived from the file as: # grep 'Current Database' koala -- Current Database: atom -- Current Database: commodore -- Current Database: digiprint -- Current Database: documents ..... and, I'd like to split it like from/to on each keyword line from -- Current Database: atom to -- Current Database: commodore file 'atom.sql' and so on... is it doable ? -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
