I want to write the following independent statements into one
line:
set tmp= `awk '{print $7}' /tmp/process.$$`
set date = `basename $tmp`
$7 is /home/central/coleman/901012.log
I really want to do the following:
set date = `basename `awk '{print $7}' /tmp/process.$$``
Unfortuantly, the second set of Grave accent marks for command
substitution for the basename command will confuse the shell.
Is there a way to "qoute" these so that those grave accent (`)
will be passed down for another layer command substitution?
Thanks
