Thank you for the helpful links. You are correct that reading tutorials and examples is a good place to start. This is work related and unfortunately it may take some time to get around to. I will try to post an example of what I've written when I come up with something. I will admit I was looking for a bit of a shortcut; in my search I've come across 3 line examples that will do something similar in Bash and PowerShell, and an expert could probably do this in a few minutes. Hopefully I'll get there.
