Hi,
I have a file like that

No seq Text
269091 123443124 how are slkslks, serial no is 042890000 and pincode is
090001223433454
269091 123443124 how are slkslks, Sr/no is 0428901 and 14 digits are is
040001223433451.

I want to extract serial no or Sr and pincode or 14 digits. Both occur in
the file. outup should be like that

042890000 090001223433454
0428901 040001223433451

Thanks in advance.

Assuming above is 2 records (i.e. not 4 records):
269091 123443124 how are slkslks, serial no is 042890000 and pincode is 090001223433454
269091 123443124 how are slkslks, Sr/no is 0428901 and 14 digits are is 040001223433451

Code:

nawk -F" is " ' { split($2,A," "); split($3,B," "); print A[1] " " B[1] } ' file

guys the pattern is in two different lines not in one line
try this

Code:

 
sed -n -e 'N;H' -e 's/\n/ /p' filename|sed -e 's/\(.*[no|Sr] is\)\(.*\)\(and .*is\)\(.*\)/\2\4/g'

sed 's/\(.*no is\) \(.* \)\(and .* is\)\(.*\)/\2\4/g' filename
