New Hobbit "admin" Scripts

OK I got it to work.
Changed :
this_getQuery()
{
#       RETURN=`echo "$1" | $GREP -oE "(^|[?&])$2=[^&]+" | $SED "s/%0D//g"| $SED "s/%0A/\n/g"
| $CUT -f 2 -d "=" | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"`
 RETURN=`echo "$1" |   awk -F\= '{print $2}' | $SED "s/%3D/=/g"`
}
What are you trying to do with  all the grep and sed?

BTW is almost always better (more portable?) to use awk -F rather than cut -f
cut is "white space challenged  "  on many systems

Also it Bash level dependent!
Works: GNU bash, version 2.05.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.8)
Does work:GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris)
