Hello All,

I'm tryying to concatenate string and variables value in ksh, but i'm unable to do it, can someone please help in rectifying my error,

here is the code i have written,

#!/usr/bin/ksh -x
cat $1 | while read fileline
do
val1= echo $fileline | awk -F, '{print $1}'
val2= echo $fileline | awk -F, '{print $2}'
set sqlstmt = "update Tablename set Varnum1 = $val2 where Date = '$val1' and UId = 1"
#echo $fileline
echo $sqlstmt
#echo $val1
#echo $val2
done

Data there in input file is something like ,

20080401,16540448,52267816,2559665,8088541
20080402,16599900,52455684,2741819,8664148

Any help will be much appriciated, as i have been trying various combination from last few hours like putting the variable name in {} , i.e ${val2}, etc

Thanks,
Arvind.

Hi,,
Try this

#!/usr/bin/ksh -x
cat $1 | while read fileline
do
val1=`echo $fileline | awk -F, '{print $1}'`
val2=`echo $fileline | awk -F, '{print $2}'`
sqlstmt="update Tablename set Varnum1 = $val2 where Date = '$val1' and UId = 1"
#echo $fileline
echo $sqlstmt
#echo $val1
#echo $val2
done

Just added back quotes while fetching val and val2 values .
and removed set.

Thanks

No need to use set, awk or cat. Simply set IFS to the delimiter to split the line.

Thats wonderfull idea, thanks all for the help, i have been able to do it both ways
