1) instead of redirecting it to tempfile, display the variables on terminal and see if they are getting displayed.
a)Have tried this by assigning (hard coding) the value to a variable and it working fine.
b) If I write a value to variable by looping, it prints nothing on the screen. However, it takes some time to return me to shell prompt. (as if working).

I am really sorry, but I don't know how and where to use this option.
Since your boundaries for cut are fixed, so the typeset lengths are fixed i.e.
typeset -L4 tmp == cut -c 1-4
typeset -L8 tmp1 == cut -c 5-12
typeset -L6 tmp2 == cut -c 13-18
Hi,
Just check if the code given by vino works. if it doesn't then
the set -x option is used to run the script in debug mode.
write this after #! line i.e. first line of the script and then run the script.
post both the script and the output. Keep the no. of iterations of loop small otherwise the output will be very large
This is the output if I assign the value to the variable in the script.
I think there is something wrong with the code below: (p.s. I dont know my pipelined awk and head -2 will work in sh or not)
The o/p is below:
Vino, I have tried your code, its o/p is as below:
Can you suggest why it is not assigning value to tmp2. Also, can you please tell me how can I redirect o/p of the script you have given to a file. I mean redirect is ">>" only in KSH or something diff.
Also, I am sorry but I am not familier with KSH, can you suggest me a link where I can understand your code.
Best Regards
Shoeb

Reason: some more addition
your val=$1 expects a commandline parameter.
since you are not passing the commandline parameter the value is not getting set, and thats why the blank output is coming.
To me it seems that you are confused between $1 of awk and $1 you are trying to set in val. Both are different.
Correct me if I am wrong
