To all who have replied I thank you.  But the "| cut" response from
Reid Thompson, was just what I was looking for. I know a little about
cut, but never imagined it there.

I have problems learning new things, that's why I have a "few" text
files here to 'remind' me.

@ Jostein - conky "layouts" is the one thing I seem to be good at  - but
still have to borrow bash, python or LUA scripts as I can not write my
own.  I can however, looks at something that is done, follow the logic
of it and "tweak it" or 'sometime' reapply it elsewhere with varying
degrees of success.  I use that knowledge as my way of helping the Linux
community for the help they give me with other things.

I'm comfortable with it, but stand in awe of those who can write
scripts.  I've been getting this mailing list for a LONG time, and only
now made a request.  The people of Linux are truly helpful.

As a matter of fact, I found out just recently that grep passes stuff
to awk and was shown a way to bypass grep completely (in a conky
showing vnstats).  But I'm getting way off topic.  Thanks for your help
- back to lurk mode - until the next time.
