Curious why you get a Bash error tho for the other awk / eval solution -- what platform and Bash version?



GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.10)

Ahh solaris -- It is not your Bash at all; it is your version of awk.

On Sun, try `nawk` vs `awk`

So try:
Code:
eval $(nawk -F'[()]' '/Total:/{split($2,a,",| ");print a[2]"="a[1]";"a[5]"="a[4]}' test_text.txt)
