Hi,
Regarding your first question, another way to return variables (one or several) from validation2.sh to validation1.sh is to use the source command, as follows:
In validation2.sh write, for example:
....
export retvar1="return value 1"
retvar2=1234
export retvar2
....
and in validation1.sh call validation2 as follows:
source /path/to/validation2/valid

Here is the code. I used command provided by you. Getting following error
Error
======================
awk: cmd. line:2: (END OF FILE)
awk: cmd. line:2: syntax error
========================
Code
=================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
CTLFILE=/home/econf/testin
toaddr=`cat $CTLFILE`
echo $toaddr
echo $toaddr | awk -F. '{print $(NF)'
==========================
Other ways:
$ cat validation1.sh
#!/bin/ksh
. ./validation2.sh
echo "VARIABLE_NAME VALUE"
echo "VAR1: $VAR1"
echo "VAR2: $VAR2"
echo "\nFirst Way"
echo $VAR1 | sed 's/[A-Z|a-z|\.|:]//g'
echo $VAR2 | sed 's/[A-Z|a-z|\.|:]//g'
echo "\nSecond Way"
echo $VAR1 | tr -d '.[:alpha:]'
echo $VAR2 | tr -d '.[:alpha:]'
echo "\nThird Way"
echo $VAR1 | sed 's/[^0-9]//g'
echo $VAR2 | sed 's/[^0-9]//g'
echo "\nFourth Way"
echo $VAR1 | perl -e 'while (<>) { s/[\.A-Za-z]//g; print }'
echo $VAR2 | perl -e 'while (<>) { s/[\.A-Za-z]//g; print }'
echo "\nFifth Way"
echo $VAR1 | awk -F. '{print $(NF)}'
echo $VAR2 | awk -F. '{print $(NF)}'
$ cat validation2.sh
#!/bin/ksh

1. return-value=`/path/to/val
2. echo $var | awk -F. '{print $(NF)'
