Preserving space during command substitution
Hi all,
I am caught up in a problem .... tried all possible ways i knew .. but ended up in big zero ... ;-( I have a file as below .. $ cat siv.txt 1234567890BF00522000095ibsadministrator@ae.ge.com ibsadministrator@ae.ge.com Note the spaces in between .... I am doing a cut on this .. $ head -1 siv.txt | cut -c 11- BF00522000095ibsadministrator@ae.ge.com ibsadministrator@ The spaces are preserved ... Well and good till here ... But I need to assign this output to a variable and still preserve the spaces in the output which I am not able to do .. $ bt=`head -1 siv.txt | cut -c 11-` $ echo $bt BF00522000095ibsadministrator@ae.ge.com ibsadministrator@ The spaces get truncated ... Pls help me here... Thanks in advance, SNS
