Hello there, I understand that this question should be asked in other mailing list, but I hope I could count on your friendly help.
So I have a file which is containing a line (for example) FIELD_NAME="user" All I need is to get the value "user" without quotation mrks from this file. I wrote this one-line perl explession in my c shell script(var $input_file is already setted up): set user_name= (`perl -w -e 'while (<>) {if (m/FIELD_NAME=\"(.*)\"/) {print $1; exit}}' $input_file`) But maybe somebody could help me to express the same with AWK?
