Thank you for the link!! I have downloaded the pdf and saved it! So, far it
has helped me out. I just have one more question:
If I wanted awk to search through a paragraph and stop at every blank line,
display what it found, then continue to the next paragraph and do the
same...where would I start??? Again, Thanks for the link... Sympatico?? I am
from Toronto...what about you?
Thanks,
Anthony Capone
