combining cat output and cutting rows
I have a file that contain the following.
Code:
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr/local/apache"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

I want a shell script, so that after cat filename and apply the shell script I should get the output as follows.
Code:
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

ie
cat filename | <shell_script>
