I had to redirect the output of that script to a file I can manipulate later. I think I will have to sort the file and then run uniq on it as it will be 10000 lines (did I miss a zero?) minus one of: I am the pincode checker for user bandit25. Please enter the password for user bandit24 and the secret pincode on a single line, separated by a space. Wrong! Please enter the correct pincode. Try again. Exiting. Or else, the 'Wrong....' says 'Right....' on one line (or something like that) and I just need to search for an affirmation word :-)~MIKE~(-: On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 6:40 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > the man pages never would have taught me that!
