Assigning variable to output gives error with expected result
Hello,
I am trying to print out the first string matching query with grep and I need your help.
My scenario:
Database
test.sh
When I run
, it prints out the second John F.
How can I print the first one and how come can I make it searching accurately?
The most importan question is:
What would happen if I simultaneously and continuously run this script at the background with different search queries ( ten or twenty script.sh processes will be running I mean), do you think that $A will be confused and will give wrong answers?
I'd appreciate if you could give an answer to solve this or lead me to right direction.
Thanks in advance
Boris

I'm converting decimal to integer with bc, and I'd like to assign the integer output from bc to a variable 'val'.
E.g. In the code below: If b is 5000.000, lines 6 and 8 will output:

(5000.000+0.5)/1 | bc
I'd like val to take the value 5000 though, rather than 5000.000

RAKE(1) Ruby Programmers Reference Guide RAKE(1)NAME
rake -- Ruby Make
SYNOPSIS
rake [--f Rakefile] [--version] [-CGNPgnqstv] [-D [PATTERN]] [-E CODE] [-I LIBDIR] [-R RAKELIBDIR] [-T [PATTERN]] [-e CODE] [-p CODE]
[-r MODULE] [--rules] [variable=value] target ...
DESCRIPTION
Rake is a simple ruby(1) build program with capabilities similar to the regular make(1) command.
Rake has the following features:
o Rakefiles (Rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in standard Ruby syntax. No XML files to edit. No quirky Makefile syntax
to worry about (is that a tab or a space?).
o Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.
o Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.
o Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating file names and paths.
o A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier.
OPTIONS --version Display the program version.
-C
--classic-namespace
Put Task and FileTask in the top level namespace
-D [PATTERN]
--describe [PATTERN]
Describe the tasks (matching optional PATTERN), then exit.
-E CODE
--execute-continue CODE
Execute some Ruby code, then continue with normal task processing.
-G
--no-system
--nosystem Use standard project Rakefile search paths, ignore system wide rakefiles.
-I LIBDIR
--libdir LIBDIR Include LIBDIR in the search path for required modules.
-N
--no-search
--nosearch Do not search parent directories for the Rakefile.
-P
--prereqs Display the tasks and dependencies, then exit.
-R RAKELIBDIR
--rakelib RAKELIBDIR
--rakelibdir RAKELIBDIR
Auto-import any .rake files in RAKELIBDIR. (default is rakelib )
-T [PATTERN]
--tasks [PATTERN] Display the tasks (matching optional PATTERN) with descriptions, then exit.
-e CODE
--execute CODE Execute some Ruby code and exit.
-f FILE
--rakefile FILE Use FILE as the rakefile.
