Copy part of a variable
Hi, i was using a input file to get the last line of the file.But now i have stored the values from the file to a variable and want the last line from the variable . Slightly confused on how to extract that data from the variable. previous code, Code:
cat input.txt <TIME>00:15:48</TIME> asderffgg <TIME>15:15:20</TIME> sdfrtghy <TIME>22:14:40</TIME> sderrthgh <TIME>18:19:32</TIME> sfrtryhbhgh <TIME>16:15:48</TIME> grep "<TIME>" input.txt > temp.txt cat temp.txt <TIME>00:15:48</TIME> <TIME>15:15:20</TIME> <TIME>22:14:40</TIME> <TIME>18:19:32</TIME> <TIME>16:15:48</TIME> echo `tail -1 temp.txt` >temp.txt o/p: in the temp file i got <TIME>16:15:48</TIME> now i dont want to use this temp file instead i want to put these in a variable and get the same output in that variable. any help will be appreciated ---------- Post updated at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:29 PM ---------- Now i am trying to remove the temp file and use variable to do all the work done by temp file. code now, Code:
h=`grep "<TIME>" input.txt` f=`echo $h|tail -1 ` this code is not working i get echo $h <TIME>00:15:48</TIME> <TIME>15:15:20</TIME> <TIME>22:14:40</TIME><TIME>18:19:32</TIME> <TIME>16:15:48</TIME> and also $f <TIME>00:15:48</TIME> <TIME>15:15:20</TIME> <TIME>22:14:40</TIME><TIME>18:19:32</TIME> <TIME>16:15:48</TIME> |

this code works in bash... Code:
f=$(grep "<TIME>" input.txt | tail -1) Code:
echo $f <TIME>16:15:48</TIME> |
