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

Is there any sort of a 'label' on the printout? I guess I'm
hoping that the printout will have something like this:

'UserID: xxxxxxxxxx'

Yes, on the second line, middle of the page, the label is INSPECTOR:
The user name varies in length like so:
INSPECTOR: JOE INSPECTOR
INSPECTOR: JOE E. INSPECTOR

Then you can use grep to look for the 'UserID:' string, and
use cut or awk whatever tool is appropriate to extract the
actual userid. This seems like a better idea than running
grep multiple times -- especially if the number of users increases.

Thanks for that suggestion. I don't expect the users to increase over
5.
At least not until I can increase my knowledge of scripting.

...other than that, I'm not sure what sort of guidance you're
looking for? It sounds like a very simple script to me.

Yes, I'm sure that it does sound that way to you!! ;-)


Thanks Scott!
