Another shell question - $system is set to eq-cca-u1.etsd.ml.com , Running the commands below should give sysnew as eq-cca-u1 , stripping out the etsd.ml.com.
$sysnew = `echo $system | awk -F. '{ print $1 }'` ; echo "sysnew = $sysnew " ; However the echo statement returns sysnew as eq-cca-u1.etsd.ml.com, it should be eq-cca-u1 since The awk removes everything after the . What am I doing wrong here ? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks. Samir. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
