Using Awk specify Unusual Delimiter
Code:
# echo "size(JFJF" | awk -F"size(" '{print $1}'
awk: fatal: Unmatched ( or \(: /size(/the delimiter is "size(" but i'm not sure if awk is the best tool to use to specify it. i have tried: Code:
# echo "size(JFJF" | awk -F"size\(" '{print $1}'
awk: warning: escape sequence `\(' treated as plain `('
awk: fatal: Unmatched ( or \(: /size(/any ideas? |

Are you trying to print JFJF...in that case try this Code:
echo "size(JFJF" | awk '{FS="size\("; print $2}'Or escape the backlash properly... Code:
echo "size(JFJF" | awk -F"size\\\(" '{print $2}' |
