Hi,
If I get this to work I have a problem, since I'm not so familiar with all the tools unix/linux has, I know there are commands to modify text files so alittle help is needed for putting a . infront of all lines in a text file. I know this is not the right place to ask this question, so I accept that there are no responses to this, though I would be grateful if I get a solution :-)
How about: sed -e 's/^/./' < infile > outfile HTH, Neil. -- Neil Hillard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Westland Helicopters Ltd. http://www.whl.co.uk/ Disclaimer: This message does not necessarily reflect the views of Westland Helicopters Ltd.
