I don't think that would work since the starting and ending line numbers 
would change with each run of the script.  Tim's suggestion did work.  I am 
curious if anyone knows how to get this to work.

linenum=`grep -n /home/$domain /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | awk -F: '{print 
$1;exit}'`

in an expect script.  It always errors out stating that the $1 is not a 
variable.

can't read "1": no such variable
    while executing
"send -- "linenum=`grep -n /home/$domain /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | awk 
-F: '{print $1;exit}'`\r""
    (file "./rmdomain.exp" line 43)

Also, the expect script slows down half way thru.  I do have sleep 1 
commands in it to make sure that the passwd command doesn't get over run, 
but not the rest of it because they are straight commands like grep, cat, 
cp, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim
