Thanks... it works.

i have another question - let's suppose i enter 41 chars, but i want first 40 chars to be read. can this be possible? please let me know.

echo "enter your name"
read name
printf "%-40s" "$name" (gives me 40 bytes) but here if i entered more than 40 chars it displays them all, but i need only first 40 chars.
