I want to grep the text value in UNIX shell file
Hi Guys,

I want to grep the text/code value in my shell script.

Sample Code:
Code:
-H "fjkldj skdfjk2342 kj s2323"

Here, the code value is in double quotes after -H. This value I have to pic and put it in variable to pass a parameter value.

Can any one help me on this!

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Lakshman

For your requirement following may help you in same.
Code:
awk '{match($0,/\".*\"/);print substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-2)}'  Input_file

Output will be as follows, you can take this into a variable as per your need too.
Code:
fjkldj skdfjk2342 kj s2323
