Hi ,

I have a script as shown below:

rpttxt()
{
name="$*"
awk '/'"${name}"'/ {print $2 $3"=" $4}' file.txt

}

xx = rpttxt "COL_HEAD_1"
awk 'BEGIN {printf("%36s \n ","'"$xx"'")}'

rpttxt() is a function..I want to store the final result of this function in the variable "xx" and print this in a specific format..
When i run this script i get an error : line 8: xx: command not found
Is their any error in calling the function ..?

Thanks in advance
