Re: FYI: pw group del -n <groupname starting with number> fails

:Hi list,
:
:While I was scripting together a batch user add script , I noticed that 
:when a groupname starts with 1 or more numerics , deleting with pw group 
:del -n fails.
:However deleting the group using the ID works (pw group del -g <groupID>).
:
:A workaround for this odd behaviour would be:
:pw group del -g `grep GROUPNAME </etc/group | cut -f 3 -d:`
:
:I thought you might want to know.

    Ok, I believe I have fixed this problem.
