yes.. i have checked several times. echo $var gives me xyz as output.
As i mentioned I am populating $var through a grep command
var=$(grep "Group" F5 | sed 's/Group Name[ ]*//g;s/,//g;s/://g;s/-//g')

when i use the variable as a static variable by hardcoding var="xyz", every command works absolutely fine. but when i populate the variable dynamically using grep command it fails.. Smilie

file has no control characters.. simple txt file converted from a excel file
