i want to get the value "JPCHIANG" only in read a file, however, when i do this:
name=`"$line"|cut -d " " -f8`

it display all the line and append 'not found' at the end of the statement

the $line is actually a variable in a loop for reading line by line in a file.:slight_smile:

name=`echo "$line"|cut -d " " -f8`
