I have about 400 little 2 line files to create, that I'm sure should be scriptable, but can't seem to figure out the right tools. The file format should be as follows: DBUSER=username/password export DBUSER I'd like to be able to run something like: scriptname username password and just have a file created and saved as the user name parameter. Is this a sed or awk kinda thing? Any help is greatly appreciated! jdk
