Re: Script file to customize scs2ascii output -Assistance needed.

 
Toby,

That certainly worked for me.  Would you explain the reason for
>/dev/null and the break command?  In the mean time, I will research it
in my book.

Also, will this script work by piping the output of scs2ascii to my
script?  I haven't tried that yet.  Here is the script, so far:

#! /bin/bash

file=/home/misadmin/ID-4892.txt
users="PHILLIP SAM RICHARD"

for user in $users; do
grep $user $file >/dev/null &&  cat $file > /home/misadmin/"$user"_`date
+%Y-%m-%d-%H:%m` && break
done

>+%Y-%m-%d-%H:%m` && break
>done
