my current code

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)

SEQ(1)								   User Commands							    SEQ(1)

NAME
seq - print a sequence of numbers SYNOPSIS
seq [OPTION]... LAST seq [OPTION]... FIRST LAST seq [OPTION]... FIRST INCREMENT LAST DESCRIPTION
Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in steps of INCREMENT. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -f, --format=FORMAT use printf style floating-point FORMAT -s, --separator=STRING use STRING to separate numbers (default: ) -w, --equal-width equalize width by padding with leading zeroes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit If FIRST or INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1. That is, an omitted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST. The sequence of numbers ends when the sum of the current number and INCREMENT would become greater than LAST. FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are interpreted as floating point values. INCREMENT is usually positive if FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCREMENT is usually negative if FIRST is greater than LAST. FORMAT must be suitable for printing one argument of type 'double'; it defaults to %.PRECf if FIRST, INCRE- MENT, and LAST are all fixed point decimal numbers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
