 Iam trying to use cut command from a shelll script. I am passing a parameter to a shell script($1). I would like to extract characters from 6 to 8 in that variable.

How can i do that?? can i use 'cut' for that??

Hi,

This is not exactly an Oracle question, but I will answer anyway:

Example script:

echo Argument 1 = [$1]
c=`echo $1 | cut -c6-8`
echo Characters 6 to 8 = [$c]


Output:

Argument 1 = [1234567890]
Characters 6 to 8 = [678]


Best regards.

Frank
