I read your message, Kevin. Sorry I didn't acknowledge it in my first
message. For this application, the output file stream should definately
be flushed, otherwise miscounts will occur, including 0's. Your right.
However, if the pipeline is returning '' (absolutely nothing, 0 size
string, etc), then my testing tells me this is because of the leading
space on the string that cut recieves. If you don't have this problem,
then its just my version of cut ;)
best of luck!
