appreciate the feedback!!!!
infact after looking through a few posts on the sites I didn't see the use of braces in a script so i figured you can do without them, but Jim a senior member gave me an example of a script in good logic form where he used braces. and since what I wrote was close and not working because of set up, he suggested to use better format.. at the time it looked a little difficult to even set up the gawk script in # !/bin/sh format like he did without the braces.!! but if braces are not considered completely necessry all the better..thanx a million for your input moxxx68

Hello,
I am trying to write a script using ksh. And I want to get the value within the first brackets of a string. For example:

Then i hope to get nn in this case.
Can any one advise me how to implement it?
Thank you very much!

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8) NAME
service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com- mand. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it. FILES
/etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton, update-rc.d(8), init(8), invoke-rc.d(8). Jan 2006 service(8)
