Hi,
I need a command in UNIX KSH below is the description...

MAPPING DESCRIPTION ="Test Mapping for the calid inputs" ISVALID ="YES" NAME ="m_test_xml" OBJECTVERSION ="1" VERSIONNUMBER ="1"

unix ksh command to read the DESCRIPTION and write to a file
Test Mapping for the calid inputs should be write to a file

Thanks

Assuming the line is taken from a file

sed s/MAPPING DESCRIPTION ="\(.*\)" ISVALID\(.*\)/\1/' < input_file >output_file

I tried using the command but it is writing the complete file to the outputfile.

My requirment is just to take out the MAPPING DESCRIPTION =" " which is in double quotes and write to an output file..
