question
Hi geeks ,
How can I do substr and instr kind of operaion in
unix shell script . is it possible ?
like i have one paramter as "hostname" .. I want
to trim quotes surrounding the hostname .
One more question , is possible to read another
text file line by line using a shel script and then edit that file
.
Actually I have this configuration file for my
system which have keywords like $HOSTNAME$ , $SCHEMA$ which I want to replace
with actual values at the time of installation by asking questions to the
user.
TIA
