Hi All,

In the below line of command what is the functionality of
sed -e "s/ //g"

I want to know what could be the output of the sed command.

count=`echo $count | sed -e "s/ //g"`

in the above command $count is some number.

Please help me out.

Regards,
Ravi Kumar Garlapati

This will remove all spaces from $count, while $count is a number nothing will happen

Hi Hitori,

You mean to say "s/ //g" indicates spaces ?

count=`echo $count | sed -e "s/ //g"`

if $count = "Ravi Kumar Garlapati"
the output could be RaviKumarGarlapati,

Am i right ?

Thanking you once again.
