sed be thy friend. I didn't catch the beginning of the discussion, but if you append | sed 's/.*STRING: //' to whatever command you're running it should work pretty ok, although with decently recent tools you should also be able to pass -Ovq to snmpget and achieve pretty much the same result with less overhead. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
