Parsing a file
Hi guys,
what is the easiest way in ksh to parse a file? For example I want to find out a value of MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH from /etc/default/security and I want to make sure it has a certain value. Of course I need to make sure the line is commented out, or if the are more lines with MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH that at least one of them is commented out ...

thanks,
Kubko
