I need something that'll work from a shell script on old and new systems. Particularly from IRIX 6.5...Linux 2.4 to Linix 2.6+ kernel based systems.
Korn ksh is the default shell on IRIX and is probably the most limiting factor, i.e. ksh features that'll work on old and new.
Any help appreciated

edit by bakunin: please use CODE-tags (for data and terminal output too). Thank you.
As often stated: one can do that, but be aware that in a strict sense you can't do it by regular exprerssions. For instance, in XML it is not guaranteed that tags are on the same line. They could be on different lines, in different order, etc.. Therefore any regexp-based solution short of a real XML-parser will make implicit assumptions about the format of the file which could or could not be correct.
OK, the part "9 * 0.1" is perhaps a typo and should (i suppose) read "95 * 0.1". I also understand the format of the string you cut out which containsthe relevant tags. But the command producing this string looks fishy. Can you please post a part of your input file (a few lines surrounding the part you want to cut out and parse), because i think this cutting could be done more easily.

As it is i don't think so: ksh comes in two variants, ksh88 and ksh93 and ksh88 is a strict subset of what ksh93 can do. Find out what IRIX uses, but i think writing for ksh88 should put you on the safe side.
Linux, though, is a different matter, depending on what distribution you use. SuSE 11 for instance, had a real AT&T ksh93 when you installed it and called ksh on the command line. SuSE 12, though, dropped the AT&T version from the repository completely and if you invoke ksh you get some "mksh" (which is a not-compatible clone with most ksh-features missing but some bash-features included), but it won't tell you so. I learned that a few weeks ago, when i gave a script i wrote on RHEL (which again has a real ksh when you invoke ksh) to a colleague from the Linux team and we wondered why it didn't work. So be prepared for some surprises.
This does indeed find every instance and print them out. Nice job!
What I need is for it to find the last instance and return that last one in a string variable so I can pass it onto the next step.
Do you have such an eloquent example of how this might be accomplished as well?
Much appreciated!
Without knowing what shell you're using, we can only guess at how the output of a command should be assigned to a shell variable. And, without knowing what operating system you're using, we have to make several other wild assumption that may not work in your environment, but the following seems to do what you seem to what on the MacOS system I'm using when using a Korn shell:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
variable=$(awk -F'"' -v pattern='Coolant Temp' '
$2 == pattern {
split($4, t, / /)
getline
split($0, m, /[<>]/)
o = sprintf("{%s %.1f %s}", FS pattern FS, t[1] * m[3], t[2])
}
END { print o
}' file)
printf 'Last value extracted from file was: %s\n' "$variable"
The command syntax in this script should work with other shells that perform basic command substitutions as required by the POSIX standards (such as bash). If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, you'll need to change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
The above is a slight variation on the code RudiC suggested that only prints the last occurrence of the data pattern found in the input file,, save the result in a shell variable, and prints the contents of that shell variable before the script exits.
If a file named file contains the sample contents you provided in post #4 in this thread, the output produced by running the above script is:
Code:
Last value extracted from file was: {"Coolant Temp" 30.7 C}
