Ok, let me explain better this.
I have a file with some information, and I need to exctract only the INFO row, so this is the simple code:

Code:
INFO=$(grep -i INFO /info.tmp)

Now the INFO var is:
Code:
INFO="                                                INFO : ABCDEFG"

Now I need to report back this variable (WHITOUT leading spaces) into an output file with other values:

Code:
echo "$TOTAL ; $TEST ; $INFO ; $LOG"

Is there a way to do grep and remove spaces in one line?

Thank elixir,
this is now my code:
Code:
INFO=$(grep -i INFO /info.tmp)
echo "FIELD1 ; FIELD2 ${INFO##*( )} ; FIELD4"

But this is the result :-(
Code:
# ./test.sh 
 ; FIELD4FIELD2                        INFO : ABCDEFG

What happens? Smilie
