command in script - parameters

Jairo Campana — Tue, 19 Apr 2005 09:15:35 GMT

Hello , I have:
TEST='*blinker@yahoo.com'

I need to send like parameters to another command(inyec) , the name user and domain without @
ex command manually:
inyec -l reinstall -u "*binker" -d "yahoo.com"

since I can do it in my script.

Thanks

As we've had awk and tr, that just leaves sed and perl

inyec -l reinstall `echo "$TEST" | sed -e 's/^/-u "/' -e 's/@/" -d "/' -e 's/$/"/'`

I'll leave perl to someone else

I don't see anything wrong. You did enclose {print $1,$2} in single quotes?

Jairo,
just as a thought why the first two options do not work for you, but work on my platform.
What OS are you running?

I think the problem is that under Solaris you need to change awk to nawk (new awk). Under HP-UX awk is nawk but under Solaris awk is oawk (old awk). The funny thing is that nawk (new awk) is now about 20 years old.
