Grep a String
Hi Guys,

Is it possible to grep only the Request ID 000000000038775 from the string:

Code:
19:37:22.429 [Aug-20-2015] INFO BMCREMEDYSD INPUT-ACTION Failed to retrieve Remedy Incident Modification record: 000000000038775 org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Read timed out - complete

Please help me! Its Urgent!

Please post all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags
It makes them fareasier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed width data.

Please do not set FONT or SIZE characteristics on every line of your text (probably by pasting in from a word processor) as it makes it very difficult to edit

To answer your question:
Code:
grep 000000000038775 file

If you asking to extract just the "Remedy Incident Modification record", something like:
Code:
sed -ne 's/^.*Remedy Incident Modification record: \([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/p' file

If it's the only 15-digit-only string:
Code:
grep -Eo '[0-9]{15}' file
000000000038775
