how to modify existing env var
greetings,

i have the following env variable:

Code:
LSB_HOSTS='t70cra102 t70cra102 t70cra108 t70cra108'

the variable could be any number of host names and sometimes the same name several times. i was hoping there's a way to turn it into the following:

Code:
NEW_LSB_HOSTS=[["t70cra102",1],["t70cra102",1],["t70cra108",1],["t70cra108",1]]

always appreciate the help and support here, regards, joe.

Try:
Code:
NEW_LSB_HOSTS=$(echo "$LSB_HOSTS" | sed 's/\(.*\)/[["\1",1]]/;s/ /",1],["/g')
