Another shell question -
$system is set to eq-cca-u1.etsd.ml.com ,
Running the commands below should give sysnew as eq-cca-u1 , stripping out the etsd.ml.com.
$sysnew =
echo $system | awk -F. '{ print $1 }' ;
echo "sysnew = $sysnew " ;
However the echo statement returns sysnew as eq-cca-u1.etsd.ml.com, it should be eq-cca-u1 since
The awk removes everything after the .
What am I doing wrong here ? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.
Samir.
