Re: can any body tell me how to remove quotes from a name.

if the 'mayank' is in a text file, then
cat file | sed s/\'//g > newfile

this should do it I think.

now for something completely different:

perl way:
my $something = "\'mayank\'";
$something =~ s/'//g;

>> sp. by map or grep command

Maybe you want a different list, not perl begginers?
