Will all of the data in your source file have the same format for the data? ($$param_name_20070919112345) In other words, will there be the two underscores everytime or will it vary? Can you provide a sample of several lines so we can possibly see the pattern?
Thanks!

Jeff,
the file is going to be generated on Ad-hoc basis daily.
todays file:
s_map_test
$$paramname_20070919112345
out file: 20070919112345
Tommorows file:
s_map_test
$$paramname_20070920112346
out file:
20070920112346
Note: there is only one underscore (_), instead of two.
I just need the numeric portion from 2nd line in the source file, and write it to a new file.
Thanks a lot
Sandy
