Hi All,

Please help me in forming command for the following scenario.

My input string (msg)is \'01\',\'02\',\'03\',\'04\',\'05\',\'06\' , i have removed \ and ' using

echo $msg|tr -d '\\'|tr -d "'"

echo $msg|tr -d '\\'|tr -d "'"|print "'"$msg"'"

This works for me in bash:

echo "'"${msg//\'/}"'"

echo $msg|sed "s/'//g"

msg="\'01\',\'02\',\'03\',\'04\',\'05\',\'06\'"
echo "$msg"|sed "s:\\\'::g;s/^/'/;s/$/'/"

'01,02,03,04,05,06'

echo "01,02,03,04,05,06"|sed -e "s/^/'/g" -e "s/$/'/g"

Thanks all for the replies. You solved my problem

Just wanted to check if i can achieve it without using sed or awk ?

See my earlier reply.
