Hi Again,

I forgot to add this this line worked fine on Solaris. But now I'm on
HPUX and it does not work.....

name=`echo $label1 | awk '{print substr($label1,1,index($label1,"
"))}'`

I am receiving this error:

awk: Field $() is not correct.
 The input line number is 1.
 The source line number is 1.

My input looks like this:
JOHN_DOE 255
JANE_DOE 160

I'm sure it has to do with the quotes or something........any help
please?

Thanks,

Arthur
