simple problem i think...
I have written the following script which should find all the occurences of a particular user in the xx file and print them to an other file (user). This all work and my output looks like this:
1 OLDPWD=/home/hussain.ahmed
2 USER=hussain.ahmed
3 MAIL=/var/spool/mail/hussa
Something very annoying but I want each line number to have a bracket after it. ie
1)........
2)..............
etc.
Any ideas??

isn't there a way I could say 'cut into the first space of each line and add a ")"'?
Well, I am not sure if there is simple command that can give you this.
Did you try yhe solution?

grep $USER $file | sed = | paste -s -d ')\n' - -
Sorry I put sed in the wrong place. Please try
#!/bin/bash
file=/home/hussain.ahmed/c
grep $USER $file | nl | sed s/\ /\)\ / > /home/hussain.ahmed/course

I am actually trying to do this without the use of sed or AWK? any ideas?
