You're quite welcome, but why exec egrep?
Ah, I may have misled you with that code.
You probably don't need the exec at all.
Just fork a child and have *that child process* handle the grep()'ing.
Perl is certainly as good at regexes as egrep. =o)
It can parse the file however you like, and redirect it's output any
way you please.
