Hi,

I am running a command line from a solaris command line onto a red hat linux:

Solaris line works:

TODAY2="Feb"
TODAY3="08"
TODAY4="2012"

search4=">>> file process at ... ${TODAY2} ${TODAY3} ........ ..T ${TODAY4}<<<"

SF4=`grep "$search4" filename | nawk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} {print $13}'`

echo $SF4:

>>> file process at Wed Feb 08 14:54:53 GMT 2012<<<

On Linux server it does not work it returns nothing????? as though it cannot find the string??? i am confused
It is something to do with the .... but i need these as I am not sure what will be populated within these positions at that time.

any help would be appreciated.

can you provide the sample input file contents and the expected output
