I need to read two values,startdate and enddate from a param file and then write this value to another param file(global) under a specific workflow name.Here in global param file there is may workflow names, hence we need to check for the right one and then add the data below it.

hi
my source file is like
8-12-1986,5-4-1988.
i need to read the first and second date into two different variables in a script.

thanks in advance.

A=`echo "8-12-1986,5-4-1988"`|ask -F ',' '{print $1}'

Above assigns first date to variable A. For second, just change print $1 to print $2 and assign to different variable.
