in thread Grabbing Process Status..

Thanks very much for your help and thanks for the share of knowledge on the server entry. The first line in the file that I was opening was SERVER = cluster. Therefore, I was trying to get the cluster part even they goofed and put additional spaces before or after the = sign. Once again, thanks for the help.

    If you have no idea how many spaces are going to appear there, if any, maybe you could use this instead:
    if ((/SERVER\s*=\s*cluster/) ...
    This will test for zero or more (*) spaces (\s) between those three parts. They can put in 500,000 and it won't affect your program.
