And you need tell use your expect O/P

for example, for this string: /TEXT123/TEXT456/ABC123/

what will be TEXT and ABC?

Seems basename and dirname will help you.

Code:

cat infile |while read LINE; 
do  
  TEXT=$( echo $LINE|awk '{gsub(/"/,"");print $2}' |xargs dirname)
  ABC=$(echo $LINE|awk '{gsub(/"/,"");print $2}' |xargs basename)
done

Code:

"READ /TEXT123/ABC123"
TEXT= TEXT123
ABC= ABC123

"READ TEXT123/ABC123/"
TEXT= TEXT123
ABC= ABC123

"READ /TEXT123/TEXT456/ABC123/"
TEXT= TEXT123/TEXT456
ABC= ABC123

Oh you prolly misunderstood the " " part in my text examples, basically my script gets executed by another one and that script is passing two arguments where the first one contains my examples... so there arn't any real "" in the text... $1 = READ /TEXT123/ABC123
