Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Substr throws an ERROR. Any alternatives? Post 302193076 by hemangjani on Thursday 8th of May 2008 12:10:14 PM

Considering the ''expr' error that you are getting is from the code where you are trying to 'trim', than use the following:

Code:
trimmedMID_INFILE=`echo $MID_INFILE | cut -b 1-$len`

- MID_INFILE is you string.
- cut -b (cut by byte)
- 1-$len (from 1st byte till $len - considering $len is already length - 1)
