how can i get the database name from a config file
its like this:
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'userabc_wrdp1');
(there might be spaces in the front of "define")
i want to store the database name to a variable
$dbname=
thanks!

dbname=`grep '^define.*DB_NAME' $theconfigfile | cut -d "'" -f4`

i tried:
grep "^ *define.*DB_NAME" grep "^ *define.*DB_NAME" $FILE | cut -d "'" -f4
it works on the command line but not in the shell script
im not sure the syntax
