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 ?

Regards,
Ravi Kumar Garlapati
