Assuming the line is taken from a file

Code:
sed s/MAPPING DESCRIPTION ="\(.*\)" ISVALID\(.*\)/\1/' < input_file >output_file

Hi
I tried using the command but it is writing the complete file to the outputfile.

My requirment is just to take out the MAPPING DESCRIPTION =" " which is in double quotes and write to an output file..

It works well for me!!! Could you paste your input string with in tags

cat input_file

sed 's/MAPPING DESCRIPTION ="\(.*\)" ISVALID\(.*\)/\1/' < input_file
Test Mapping for the calid inputs
