[HECnet] DCL Help needed

[Steve Davidson]

Steal and steal often is my motto :-)

Take whatever you need!   The new version will be better commented and
not require the reboot.   I will place a copy of the old version of the
data file (it matches this version) in the same directory.

Wow, that's pretty much exactly what I needed to get started, thanks!

Ok, so if I were doing this in Korn or Bash I'd be done by now. :-D

I've found search, i've figured out how to redirect output and input,
so

i've got some basics figured out.

What I need to figure out now is how to walk a text file line by line
and pull out specific records. Normally I would use awk for such a
task.

How would I go about doing this from within a DCL script?
