setap -l | grep ESSID: | cut -f 2 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | sed -e
"s/\"//g"
That is all one line.

Thanks Tony,
You got me looking at sed and I dropped all the grep and cut stuff with just
one sed command...
essid=$(setap -l | sed -ne '/ESSID:/ { s/.*ESSID:"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/;p;})
What do you think? I like this and the rday's expr method:
essid=$(expr "$(setap -l | grep ESSID)" : ".*ESSID:\"\([^ ]*\)\"")
These both work great!
