Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
is there problem with grep command when using ksh?
I had the below command:
/usr/bin/grep \""$Mon $NewDD\"" /tmp/timemanager/intlog.$$ >> /tmp/timemanager/log.$$ 2>/dev/null

when I run ksh in debug mode, this command can not grep anything even the data is in the file.

+ /usr/bin/grep "Feb 9" /tmp/timemanager/intlog.12173
+ 1>> /tmp/timemanager/log.12173 2> /dev/null


But when I just type in the above command and it runs fine.( I think I have sh as default shell program at the prompt)

Any help would be apreciated!

Hello?

Is it so strange that no one knows about it?

Please read the forum rules.
Do not bump up questions if they are not promptly answered.

It would definitely work perfectly and it worked.

post the file,
search pattern
and the snippet of script (where u grep )

Well, I fixed my problem by only put on one quotation mark at each end like below:

/usr/bin/grep "$Mon $NewDD" /tmp/timemanager/intlog.$$ >> /tmp/timemanager/log.$$ 2>/dev/null


It does not make sense to me.

Thanks!
