This is even a bit simpler...even better would be to have only one grep
filter, but this works:
awk '{print $4}' /proc/partitions | grep sd | grep -v [0-9]

Or instead of doing a loop, just grep for what you want:
cat /proc/partitions | awk '{print $4}' | grep sd[a-z] | grep -v [0-9]

I know the 'cat' line gives me the raw data I want, it's the filter
below
that's broken. I know it has to be something painfully simple, they
typically are.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
