Problem solved. The list that I was given had a space at the beginning of
every id. When I imported the file into Excel, removed the space at the
beginning of each line and re-saved it as tab-delimited the script ran
perfectly with the syntax given by Steve and John. It's always the little
things. :-)
Thanks,
Tim
