awk '/fullpath/{match($0, /fullpath: (.*) \-cfver/, x); print x[1]}' file

abc/def/ghi/example.xlf
abc/def/ghi/example.xlf
abc/def/ghi/example.xlf
abc/def/ghi/example.xlf

Thanks for your help, but your command does not return any results. It just prints empty lines.

Hi itkamaraj,

Awesome! Your solution works fine. Sorry to insist, but is there a way to have carriage returns displayed in the same lines instead of in different ones? Example:

Code:

 
abc/def/ghi/example.xlf 
abc/def/ghi/example.xlf 
abc/def/ghi/example.xlf
