Shell Programming and Scripting

how to remove -> "|"
|USERID|

after select from database before assign to the variable?

thank you

Hi,
try this:
echo $YOURVARIABLE | sed -e 's /|//g'

Bye

thank you Sauron..

but the "|" ...still the same.. not working....

can you post me what yuo typed?
it is hard to help without seeing your code

if you put the command i told you into a variable, it works

Bye

Thank you Sauron again...hihi

here is the coding
$data_LocID_SQL content is this ->>> |NTTR |

echo $data_LocID_SQL | sed -e 's /|//g'

after i added the command.. still the same...

Hi,

mordor:/# data_LocID_SQL="|NTTR |"
mordor:/# echo $data_LocID_SQL | sed -e 's/|//g'
NTTR

maybe you are using again the variable without reassign it

you got "data_LocID_SQL" that is equal to |NTTR |
if you do
echo $data_LocID_SQL | sed -e 's/|//g'
you variable will still be |NTTR |
but if you write
data_LocID_SQL=$(echo $data_LocID_SQL | sed -e 's/|//g')
you'll get what you need

Bye
