Search for string in a file and extract another string to a variable
Hi, guys. I have one question:
I need to search for a string in a file, and then extract another string from the file and assign it to a variable. For example: the contents of the file (group) is below: ... ftp:x:23: mail:x:34 ... testing:x:2001 sales:x:2002 development:x:2003 ... I want to search for string "testing", then extract group id (2001) on the same line and assign it to a variable. Can anybody help me with me question? Thank you very much for your time in advance -K.D |
