Hi all,
grep is giving me a hard time in a script with the following line which need
modifying:
LINE=`cat /tmp/modemlist$$.tmp | grep -e $TMP 2>/dev/null | tail -1`
$TMP contains a PID number which I need to grep out of the modemlist$$.tmp
file but need to check with spaces eg.. " $TMP " to prevent numbers like
43512 popping up when searching for 435 etc..
but when I change the grep line to `grep -e " $TMP "` or to `grep -e
\" $TMP \"` I get nothing..
can anybody help?
thanks,
George Vieira
