Thanks for the help, your solution works great but I forgot to mention that the file contains more then just the hashes.

For example user:$1$7FWHShP3$QzHTcsaII5leWMSv6weND7vSS1KMvcsjfYpiDZxc.TCAVR6XUdLaLtUBVTTwPFXZBKs52DRzW1UKFZ5JB27yI0:15152:0:99999:7:::

What needs to be modified in order for something like the above to work?

Thanks again
