Rekha · #1 (**permalink**) 08-01-2006

suppose i have a file value where it returns 3 values

a=1 b=2 c=4

when i run it.

i am using this file in my shell script. how do i parse and get the value of a b and c?

Try something like this:

Code:

$ a=`echo "a=1 b=2 c=4" | awk '{print $1}' | cut -d= -f2`
$ echo $a
1

Another way :

Code:

echo "a=1 b=2 c=3" > filename
eval $(<filename)
