I have the following trailer row stored in the variable $temp_row:

Code:

07/14/2009|(71/950)|(24/950)|(205/950)|(23/950)|(19/950)|(11/950)|-188837594.64|(100/950)|182830526.95|(3/950)|(336/950)|(934/950)|

I need to extract the record count which would be "950" in this case. My pseudocode is:
1) Delete up to the first "("
2) Delete up to the first "/"
3) Print up to the first ")"

What is wrong with my SED statement for part 1?

Code:

sed "1,/(/ d" $temp_row > $temp_row

Nevermind... used "cut" instead:

Code:

echo $temp_row | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d'/' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1
