I had just missed out the starting bracket, else thats the only command.
Ok then atlease can you tell me what the index variable does. And why is the sed command throwing an error.

I guess i had just missed out the starting bracket, else there's nothing before that. Atleast can you tell me what does the index field in the awk command does. And why is the sed command
Code:
VALUE=`echo ${VALUE} | sed -e 's/"//g'`

failing in linux is there some other syntax.

'like' command not found? What, exactly, does it say? Tell me word for word, letter for letter, keystroke for keystroke.
