how do I do this is shell script?

[Chun Kit Edwin Lau <try_email_me@yahoo.ca>]

Hi everyone,

	I am writing some shell script (bash) to read from Addresses.pdb
and convert it to mutt address using lbdbq.  I encounter a problem where
some ppl have two or even 3 emails which I have to come out with a
unique alias in mutt.  How do I put a number in the alias name
automatically to make it unique.  So far I have

MUTT_ADDRESSES=~/.mutt/mutt.addresses
ADDRESSES_PDB=~/AddressDB.pdb

lbdbq | sed '1 d' | sed 's/^\([A-Za-z0-9_-.]*@[A-Za-z0-9_-.]*\)\t\([A-Za-z0-9_-.]*\)[ ]*\([A-Za-z0-9_-. ]*\)\t(Palm)/alias \2 "\2 \3" <\1>/' | sort > $MUTT_ADDRESSES

Thanx in advance
