I would have offered to use a combo of 'awk' and 'grep'. One script

Why use grep? awk has excellent pattern-matching capabilities:
awk '/name_/ {print $3}' file1 > file2

Of course they do...

That is the cool thing about Unix/Linux: For each problem there are
AT LEAST a half-dozen ways to solve it. M$ havent figured that
aspect out yet though. :)


The same can be said of *n[ui]x users who are GUI-dependent.

Back in the day of Sun OS/Solaris, one could use the GUI for applications but
there was also a way to invoke a command from a command line and pass the
neccesary arguments to launch an application/utility from a shell prompt. Personally,
give me a shell ANY DAY of the week!
