Why not just use wc and sed?
A good idea and also a good idea from Rick Pasotto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to use head -n -6. There is, however, a problem with that last
suggestion in that the script is actually being run on a FreeBSD
system and FreeBSD's version of head does not support the -n flag.
Both Debian and FreeBSD, however, had the same problem with the loop.
The function gets called with a bunch of values passed as
arguments instead of getting one value per run.
When I use sh -x scriptname, the output doesn't look like a
normal loop.
Thanks for any more ideas.
I don't know how to fix the awk problem, but instead of:
zlength=`wc -l $zonename|awk '{print $1}'`
you could try:
zlength='wc -l $zonename|(read len fname; echo $len;)'
