; 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?
this looks like a very poor solution, please paste some representative
lines of your input file.
