I do have a question however. Suppose I am wanting to read specific contents within a text file like name, address, phone, etc... and put it into another file to archive. How do I read the file using Bash and make it look for keywords to recognize what I need it to read? (hope that makes sense) =) Anton,

X=$(curl -s -o - http://www.random.org/cgi-bin/checkbuf) if [ "${X%\%*}" -get 10 ] ; then echo "X is more than 10%!" fi Ted,

X=$(curl -s -o – http://www.random.org/cgi-bin/checkbuf)
if [ "${X%\%*}" -get 10 ] ; then
echo “X is more than 10%!”

How do I check the number (note it's 4%, not 004%) and do the Right Thing? Ted I’m accessing ‘http://www.random.org/cgi-bin/checkbuf’
It returns the single-line file ‘checkbuf’ with these contents”
4%
