get rid of the ` in your expr
for instance, if you wanted to get the length of s3 in len, you;d do
len= expr length $s3
echo $len
HTH
..
Why doesn’t this work?????
#!/bin/sh
echo “Enter first string:”
read s1
echo “Enter second string:”
read s2
s3=$s1$s2
len=`echo $s3 | wc -c`
len=`expr $len – 1`
echo “Concatenated string is $s3 of length $len “
concatenation is performed
but
length doesn’t calculated
to get the length of a string can I use len=`echo $str | wc -c`?????
what is length in the expression “len=$(expr length $OUT)”
did you write that function or SHELL has that function?
