Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to grep substring from a line ? Post 302249378 by joeyg on Tuesday 21st of October 2008 08:10:25 AM

Question Can you provide a couple more examples?

To do things like this, one normally needs some 'anchors' or known targets. From your example I can assume certain things about character placement and parenthesis, but that may have been just the way you typed that one line.
Would like to see something along the lines of:

Message from user Joe (Sent 10/13/08(Fix the hard drive))
Print for PTR_1(Update 10/17/08(re-install driver complete))
Message for Sue(Sent 10/21/08(Out of disk space))

Are you trying to pull something like that apart?
