How can I cut something between quotes?
 

Say I have grepped a file and the output is "test" -- how can I remove the quotes from it using grep, cut, awk or sed assuming that the word between quotes is not always going to be the same

grep <whatever> | tr -d '"' | doSomethingElse

Another method:
Like sigsegv's command, that will wipe out all double quotes in the returned value. In other words, if the string you're searching for contains a double quote (like grep 'he said, "she said"'), then the internal double quotes will get whacked too.
