I have the following output which I need to obtain the values for "Next Seq is xxx" and "Last Seq is xxx" and "Pending count is xxx". You will notice that the number of words prior to that value can be variable hence the reason for asking this question.

LINECMD> Line /xxx///ABC9_SND is UP. Snd-Enabled. Tracing enabled. Line information: "STARTNG-Up Cmd" Next seq is 1 Last seq is 0 Processed count is 0 Pending count is 4 Line /xxx///ABC9_SND is connected to: /xxx///ABC9_OUTQ
LINECMD> Line /xxx///abc0_SND is UP. Snd-Enabled. Tracing enabled. Line information: "STARTNG-Up Cmd" Next seq is 1 Last seq is 0 Processed count is 0 Pending count is 4 Line /xxx///RGW0_SND is connected to: /xxx///XYW0_OUTQ
LINECMD> Line /xxx///BCDPRT is UP. Line information: "209134" Next seq is 8 Last seq is 7 Processed count is 7 Pending count is 0 ACK'ing is not enabled Line /xxx///BCDPPRT is connected to: /xxx///EXCPPRTQ /xxx/MTRANS//EXCPPRTQ
LINECMD> Line /xxx///XYW_POST_01 is UP. Line information: "UP POSTING LOGGED IN" Next seq is 10 Last seq is 9 Processed count is 9 Pending count is 0 Line /xxx///XYW_POST_01 is connected to: /xxx///XYW_AUTQ

I have looked at using awk for it but I am unable to get it to work with the variable position. Any assitance in getting this resolved would be appreicated.

to start with

That didn't give me the results I was after. Heres a copy of something that appears to work but I am sure it could be done better

echo 'LINECMD> Line ////AT_VLD is UP. Line information: "CONNECTED: 1, 2, 3" Next seq is 8880 Last seq is 0 Processed count is 0 Pending count is 0'|awk 'match($0,"Next seq is [0-9]*") {print substr($0,RSTART, RLENGTH)}'|awk '{ print $4} '


result = 8880 # What I want to see

Now that I have obtained that how can I obtain the information for the line information i.e. "CONNECTED: 1, 2, 3" or "UP"(depending on what is returned)

Just in case anyone is interested here is my final code that worked as I was expecting it

LINE_INFO=`echo $STATUS|awk 'match($0,"Line information: \".\*\" ") {print substr($0,RSTART, RLENGTH)}'|awk '{ print $3,$4,$5,$6,$7} '`
