to separate values from a string
Hi
I would like to take input from user like username/password@connectstring

I should be able to cut the username and password and connect string
for example if someone enters like
sam/sammy@ora1

my program should take sam as username sammy as password and ora1 as connectstring and assign to different variables

Thanks in advance

There is no need for any external command:
Code:
input=sam/sammy@ora1
up=${input%@*}
username=${up%/*}
password=${up#*/}
connectstring=${input#*@}
