I know this is for CentOS stuff, but I'm at a loss on how to build a script that does what I need it to do. It's probably really logically simple, I'm just not seeing it. Hopefully someone will take pity on me and at least give me a big hint. I have a file with two columns 'email' and 'total' like this: me at example.com 20 me at example.com 40 you at domain.com 100 you at domain.com 30 I need to get the total number of messages for each email address. This type of code has always been the hardest for me for whatever reason, and honestly, I don't write many scripts these days. I'm struggling to get psuedocode that works, much less a working script. I know this is off topic, and if it gets modded out, that's fine. I just can't wrap my brain around it. -- Mark Haney Network Engineer at NeoNova 919-460-3330 option 1 mark.haney at neonova.net www.neonova.net
