grep makes me crazy reading the file!!!! Why the thingy doesnt work?

Im getting "World: not found"


USERNAME=grep 'World' /usr/local/StatusNotifier/var/status_notifier_conf.php; 
echo "Username: $USERNAME";

And here is the content of the file:


	$lrc_box_name = "";
	$lrc_box_location = "Bk";
	$lrc_box_comments = "Main Test Site on Wall";
// Hello World this is a test of grep file serach 
	?>

Any Ideas why it doesnt work?

Try


USERNAME=`grep World /usr/local/StatusNotifier/var/status_notifier_conf.php`

I guess BSD treats quotations diferently from Linux too

alexus

One more question:
How can I strip begining and ending character of the string?
Like I have username variable shrown as "username" (quotes are shown) and I want to strip out quotes

sullrich

echo "'username'" | cut -d"'" -f2

or

echo '"username"' | cut -d'"' -f2

alexus
