Hi, I have a flat file with delimitor as X'1F'
Need to get a string from second line, third field.
I have problem with the below command. Below command is not correct.
value=`head -2 $file_name|tail -1|cut -f3 -d`echo -e "\037"``
problem is with `
please help me to resolve this. Is there any other method for to achieve this.
i am using SunOS unix operating system.
Thanks in advance.
something like this?
cmd="head -2 $file_name|tail -1|cut -f3 -d`echo -e "\037"`"
eval $cmd
Still not working.
your command is getting output as below.
head -2 $file_name|tail -1|cut -f3 -d-e
can you try awk, as it takes the hex delimiters,
head -e $file_name|tail -1|awk -F'\037' '{print $3}'
This should work i guess
It is working fine.
Thanks a lot.
value=`head -2 $file_name|tail -1|awk -F'\037' '{print $3}'`
You can also use this
value=`head -2 $file_name|tail -1|cut -f3 -d $(echo -e "\037")`
