Awk display
Hi All,

I got a script like

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Welcome Sir"|awk '
{
      print $1
}'

This is printing Welcome. I want output like 'Welcome' enclosing by single quotes.

Please assist me.

Thanks,
Shahnaz.

This little script may do the trick:

Code:
 
#!/bin/bash 
hi=`echo "welcome sir" | awk '{print $1}'`; echo "'"$hi"'"

Probably this would work:--
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Welcome Sir"|awk '{print \'$1\'}'

Thanks all for your valuable solutions.

I tried the following it worked for me.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
# ' means interpretter on in awk terminology
echo "welcome to my home"|awk '
{
        print "'\''"$1"'\''"
}'

' is interpretter on/off in awk terminology...

Thanks,
Shahnaz.
