You'd need to add it in your awk's 'print' statement. However with the single quotes, that makes it tricky. Maybe something like: ... | awk "{print \"$MEDIAID\" \$2,\$4,\$5}" >> $OUTFILE > I also need to get the backup date in a human readable format > and cannot figure out how to separate the ctime from the backupid to run > it against bpdbm -ctime to get the real time.

You could use 'tr' to strip all non-numerics. echo $MEDIAID | tr -d -c '0-9' Of course I prefer to do all this in perl in most cases, but that's just me. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
