thanks joeyg.

yes that works. but when i added that grep part on my hookscript, i am getting nothing. just the echo works fine as you said.

here is a part of my hook script.

Code:
changes=`/usr/bin/svnlook changed $REPOS -r $REV | grep "^A.*index.html$" | gwak 'print $2"\n"$4}'`
echo '>>>'$changes >> $ACTION_LOG

So what i am doing here is checking to see if new index.html file has been added to the repository. and then from there i am need to extract the folder name.

Code:
changes=`/usr/bin/svnlook changed $REPOS -r $REV | grep "^A.*index.html$"`

gives you the
Code:
A  /content/qa/lession1/index.html A /content/qa/lession2/index.html

so i added the script you gave me to it.
Code:
changes=`/usr/bin/svnlook changed $REPOS -r $REV | grep "^A.*index.html$"| gwak 'print $2"\n"$4}'

didnt give me anything back.

shells(4)							   File Formats 							 shells(4)

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
       /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
       /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
