Hi ygor, thanks a lot for the code. It works perfectly. However, i am unable to store the values in a variable or able to echo using a variable. It gives me a result as below:
Code:
user='user=name'
pass='pa/assword'
db='db'
user is , pass is , db is

m i missing anything? as a workaround i have edited ur script like below:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

	user=`(awk '/oracle/{
      if(match($0,/=[^/]*/))
          printf("\047%s\047\n", substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-1))
		    }' sample.cfg)`
		pass=`(awk '/oracle/{
            if(match($0,/\/.*@/))
          printf("\047%s\047\n", substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-2))
		      }' sample.cfg)`
			  db=`(awk '/oracle/{
      if(match($0,/@.*/))
          printf("\047%s\047\n", substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-1))
		      }' sample.cfg)`
	
	
	user=`echo $user | sed 's/.\(.*\)/\1/' | sed 's/\(.*\)./\1/'`
	pass=`echo $pass | sed 's/.\(.*\)/\1/' | sed 's/\(.*\)./\1/'`
	db=`echo $db | sed 's/.\(.*\)/\1/' | sed 's/\(.*\)./\1/'`
	
	echo user is $user, pass is $pass, db is $db

let me know if there is a better way to achieve.

Thanks a lot for the solution provided earlier Smilie

NAME
cut - select out columns of a file SYNOPSIS
cut [ -b | -c] list [file...] cut -f list [-d delim] [ -s] OPTIONS
-b Cut specified bytes -c Select out specific characters -d Change the column delimiter to delim -f Select out specific fields that are separated by the -i Runs of delimiters count as one -s Suppres lines with no delimiter characters, when used EXAMPLES
cut -f 2 file # Extract field 2 cut -c 1-2,5 file # Extract character columns 1, 2, and 5 cut -c 1-5,7- file # Extract all columns except 6 DESCRIPTION
[file...]" delimiter character ( see delim)" with the -f option. Lines with no delimiters are passwd through untouched" Cut extracts one or more fields or columns from a file and writes them on standard output. If the -f flag is used, the fields are sepa- rated by a delimiter character, normally a tab, but can be changed using the -d flag. If the -c flag is used, specific columns can be specified. The list can be comma or BLANK separated. The -f and -c flags are mutually exclusive. Note: The POSIX1003.2 standard requires the option -b to cut out specific bytes in a file. It is intended for systems with multi byte characters (e.g. kanji), since MINIX uses only one byte characters, this option is equivalent to -c. For the same reason, the option -n has no effect and is not listed in this man- ual page. SEE ALSO
