This email didn't make it onto the list, so I thought I forward it here.

Hi Buchan,

I didn't see it until you mentioned it. Email got blocked by our spam filter for some silly reason. ;)  It looks like bbhostgrep does not like : entries in the 4.2.0 release. I think I might need to use bbhostshow and parse it manually, as buggy that might be :\ unless I am missing something.

Did you even look at the example script I sent? Did you reply saying what it
didn't do that you need?

Or, are you looking for someone to teach you how to read and write scripts (in
which case I think you're looking in the wrong place).
