Okay. I have another question regarding variables and scripts. But before
I ask this one, just wondering if anyone knows the answer to my previous
question?. How do you remove preceding spaces in a variable? Meaning if I
have a variable that looks like this
' TRUE', but all I really need is just the word
TRUE. How do I get rid of the spaces before the word?
My other question is if my script is reading a text file and processing
each line, how do I parse out each word on that line and assign it to a
variable? For example, the line looks like this: 'resourcename Jan 15
10:00:00 EST 1999' and I just want to capture 'resourcename' and assign it
to one variable and capture '10:00:00' and assign it to another variable.
BTW....In case anyone is wondering, I do have a Korn Shell programming
book, but I can't seem to find this information in there. I'm sure its
there, in some form, but is it english? Thanks for all the
help..................Lucy
