How to surpress screen output when using dd conv 1

[raypru]

I am using the following command:

export ENV=`echo $ORACLE_SID | dd conv=lcase`

How can I avoid the following output to my screen:

0+1 records in.
0+1 records out.


Thanks

hi ,

you can do this

echo $ORACLE_SID | dd conv=lcase 2>/dev/null

why don't you do this if you just want to convert to lower case

echo $ORACLE_SID | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'

( look at man page man tr )
