Hi all,

What happens when the pattern is last on the line?

Try this:
Code:
awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)if($i~/pattern/)print $(i+1)}' infile

i have a similar situation and i thought i'd drop my question here...

i have a file like below. how to printout the digits followed by the pattern -bwout and -bwin. say i run the script by entering line number 145 (the fourth line), then the o/p should be like
5000000 1024000
Code:
8 test1 -ipprot erp -ppsout 500 -ppsin 500 -bwout 300000 -bwin 300000 -statsdevice test1 -stats 
30 test2 -addr a.b.c.249 -wdwthresh 3 -bwout 512000 -bwin 512000 -statsdevice test2 -stats 
125 test3 -addr a.b.c.0 -addrmsk 255.255.255.0 -bwlink total1 -statsdevice testing3 -stats -global 
145 test4 -group -bwout 1024000 -bwin 5000000 -statsdevice group4 -stats 
1451 test5 -addr a.b.c.251 -bwout 256000 -bwin 512000 -bwlink test4 -statsdevice test5 -stats 
14539 test6 -addr a.b.c.34 -bwboth 128000 -bwlink xyz128 -statsdevice abc123 -stats
