Hi All,
vgersh and ygor thanks a lot for the help, both the above things are working perfectly fine.

Hugow thanks a lot for your time, the awk syntax which I will be using now is

Quote:
awk -v q="'" '{print "value is" q $2 q}' inputfile
or
Quote:
awk '{print "value is \x27" $2 "\x27"}' inputfile
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav
