string manipulation issue - Shell Programming and Scripting

I am sorry, I am still having issues. I changed the code as follows:

Code:

 
myMethod
used=`myMethod | awk '{gsub(/,/,""); print $3}'`
echo $used

Now I get a different error. If it is not clear what could be wrong, any pointers for debugging awk would be appreciated.

Code:

 
bash-3.00# ./test.sh 
sum                 1,977,920      795,648    1,182,272
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1
bash-3.00# stty: : I/O error

The first line of the script is:

Code:

 
#!/bin/sh
