Error Removing " " chars using Awk
HI Friends,
I am trying to elliminate the " " characters from the word:
"hello" using awk. I need the output to be just = hello (without " " chars). Is there any way to do this ?

Thanks!

Something like this?

Code:
awk '{gsub("\"","")}1'

Regards

Look at the documentation for the sub command (or gsub if your awk has that).
