hi,

the problem is the files which i am passing to temp folder after below command ...

var1=`cat file_GTDA.xls|grep 'GTDA_Dly_Sls_'`
var4="|"
for i in $var1
do
var3=`cut -d "$var4" -f18,19 $i|sort -u`
var2=$var4""$var3
sed -n 's/'"$var2"'//p' $i> ./temp/$i
# sed -e 's/'"$var2"'//p' $i> ./temp/$i
done

excpected files are passed to temp but with 0 bytes./dm/RMDW_LandingZone/dev/work_area/ABaC_reregister/temp> ls -ltr
total 8

i think problem is coming while i pass variable in cut and sed command ..
