Try with double-quotes, i.e. "`cat $file`"

Which shell are you using? Here (bash) I can't reproduce thisQuote:> When I cat a file on the command line each field (3 fields) are on the
> same line, but when I try to use `cat $file` in a script, each of the
> 3 fields are all on separate lines and it's screwing up my program.

That worked! Thanks so much!
1. Why can't I field-separate this line?
I have a line like this by doing 'tail -1 somefile':
/dev/hda3 28851852 5759880 23091972 20% /
What I want to do is first print only the first column (/dev/hda3) and
eventually extract the hda3 out of it. But, tail -1 somefile | gawk
-F=" " '{print $1}' only gives me the entire line. I am suspecting
it's because of the /s in the line. How would I get around this?
Thanks,
-j
