What you want is the IFS (Internal Field Separator) variable. Try: man bash /IFS Then tap the 'n' key twice. Alternately google for "bash IFS" and you'll get: http://www.faqs.org/docs/bashman/bashref_33.html then you can try setting IFS to a newline with: IFS="\n" or perhaps it needs: IFS=" " -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
