assigning the value to variables from file

vineelaregonda · #1 (**permalink**) 01-11-10, 15:39

Hi,

My file with the name "ouput" has a text like

"Adaptive Server Enterprise/15.0.2/EBF 15777 ESD#2 ONE-OFF/P/Sun_svr4/OS 5.8/ase"

I need to assign "15.0.2" value to one variable and "EBF 15777 ESD#2 ONE-OFF" to another variable.

I am able to print the two words as follows

awk '{FS="/"}{print $2, $3}' output
15.0.2 EBF 15777 ESD#2 ONE-OFF

If I pass this output to a different file, then EBF, 15777 ESD#2 ...each acts like single word.

My requirement is like
a="15.0.2"
b="EBF 15777 ESD#2 ONE-OFF"

please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Vineela

Something like this should be ok

Code:

var1=`awk '{FS="/"}{print $2}' output`
var2=`awk '{FS="/"}{print $3}' output`

Alternatively,

Code:

IFS="/"
read a b c d e f g <output
echo $c
echo $d
