Thanks for pointing out that I had put a double ">" in my script, guess I was a little overly excited about figuring out a way to make it work, but it doesn't really matter if I do a ">>" or a ">" because at the end of the script, I delete the created files.

The rest of the code that I put in, is there as makrers for me when I was testing how to convert to ANSI, where I would need to put certain actions that needed to be done, if certain items were found in the converted files.
