I'm using zsh/
When I enter the following on the command line, I get the expected result:
echo ann001.jpg | awk "{ print substr(\$0, 1, length(\$0) -7 ) }"
Expect result = ann
But, when I do this:
OUT=`echo ann001.jpg | awk "{ print substr(\$0, 1, length(\$0) -7 ) }"`
I get back nothing. The variable is empty.
Anyone have an idea as to why the aboce isn't working?
Thanks in advnace.
