Hello,
I'm trying to find a pattern in a file and the command works if I
manully put the output of the variable in it but when I use the
variable it fails? I have tryed with quotes "$CLIENT" and without. I
don't know what else to try? :-(
echo "Client variable is --> \"${CLIENT}\"" ; grep "${CLIENT}" foo.txt
What does that tell you?
========Keith
I tryed adding a cd to the directory that I was attempting to grep from
and that worked? This is okay because is worked but it would be nice to
not have to so that...
Ok, suppose foo.txt is in /home/fflintstone/foo.txt, then:
echo "Client variable is --> \"${CLIENT}\"" ; grep "${CLIENT}"
/home/fflintstone/foo.txt
