Little formatting help needed.
I have a following string.

"machine=IFLMUD5HP0581&group1=Stop"

I have created 2 variables namely machine and action.

machine should contain
IFLMUD5HP0581

Code:
 echo "machine=IFLMUD5HP0581&group1=Stop"|sed 's/.*=\(.[^=]*\)\(.*\)\(&.[^=]*\)=\(.[^=]*\)/\1 \4/'

Code:
 echo "machine=IFLMUD5HP0581&group1=Stop"|sed 's/.[^=]*=//;s/&.[^=]*=/ /'

use eval :
Code:
STRING="machine=IFLMUD5HP0581&group1=Stop"
eval ${STRING#*&}
eval ${STRING%&*}
echo "machine = $machine - group1 = $group1"

Try this:

Code:
echo "machine=IFLMUD5HP0581&group1=Stop" |awk -F"[=&]" '{ print $2,$4}' | read machine action

echo $machine
echo $action
