=>Okay, with some big help from Chris I got so close.. but I still need one more
=>thing from my script and my extreamly bad regex skills are killing me.
=>
=>This is the output being fed in:
=>
=>./Customer_Name/Feed_#/Weeklyusage.html.htm
=>
=>I need to strip out two things. I need the Customer_Name and Feed_#
=>
=>I can do it with this command from the command line, but it gives me nothing
=>within the script.
=>
=>Here is my entire script so far
=>
=>#!/bin/bash
=>
=>for i in `find . | egrep "\/(Daily|Monthly|Weekly)usage.html.htm"`; do
=>echo "<a href=\"$i\">";
=>
=>## Below is the command that works from the command line
=>## but not from within this script. This gives me .Customer_Name
=>echo $i | awk -F/ '{ print $1 }';
=>
=>echo "</a>";
=>
=>done

#! /bin/bash
while read line
do
    c1=${line#./*}
    cn=${c1%%/*}
    f1=${c1#*/}
    fn=${f1%%/*}
done

I don't know if this is what you're looking for. Let me know.

You should never use `find` in a script because the commandline can blow 
up on you.
