Robbie,
Thanks for your feedback! If you want you can change the location of the
temporary file in the variable assignment - you could just point it to
your home folder. (I will edit the original now I know - thanks)
tmpstr=/home/"$USER"/picasa.txt
In Mandriva there is a /home/<user>/tmp by default, so I simply used it
'cos it was there.
If my bash scripting was better I am sure it would not need to use a
temporary file, but as it worked OK I really did not think it was worth
the time & effort of figuring out a better way!

Well, mine is 700
I'm glad it's working for you,
Cheers,
Barry
