If I just do test=SetupddfImporter1020.exe then call command it works fine, so I would think its my variable however if I run a If statement to check if the one generating by the awk command is the same as test=SetupddfImporter1020.exe it says they are equal/</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is driving me round the bend, any help would be much appreciated!!</div>
