Help with AWK and gsub

npolite · #1 (**permalink**) 11-15-2007

Hello,

I have a variable that displays the following results from a JVM....

1602100K->1578435K

I would like to collect the value of 1578435 which is the value after a garbage collection. I've tried the following command but it looks like I can't get the > to work. Any suggestions as to how to get the result?

jvmvalue=` echo $jvmvalue| awk '{gsub(/^[.->]+|[ K),]+$/,"");print}'`

Thanks for your time,

Nick
