Parse String Using Sed
Hi,
I am wondering if there's a simpler way to extract the second occurrence of a word enclosed in [ ] that matches my search criteria. Sample Input is as follows: HTML Code:
[main] Error installing feature [fmx] - com.er.nms.cif.ist.NoMatchingUpgra [main] Error installing feature [fmav] - com.er.nms.cif.ist.NoMatchingUpgra HTML Code:
fmx fmav Here's my code: Code:
while read data; do echo $data | sed -e 's/\([.[a-z]*] \)//' | sed 's/[A-Za-z ]*//' | sed 's/-.*//' | sed 's/]//' | sed 's/\[//' done < data.txt //racbern

Code:
sed -e 's/.*\].*\[//' -e 's/\].*//' data.txt As a side remark, you should always double quote any variables.
