Selecting a string
Hi,

I have a small question... Since i am new to Unix ksh scripting i am having this problem of understanding...
Well the thing is that i just want a part of a line for example

Code:
Data Set=ELIG_Member_20090126.dat Count Total= 8192 Actual Total= 8187

I just want the value of Actual Total ie 8187

My code.. i mean till where i wrote looks up for line Data Set line and currently printing whole line... now i just want the value of Actual Total only ie 8187 for the line

Code:
grep "${3}" ${LOG_DIR}/${CUR_MAINT_DATE}/${filnam}_200*log | head -1

Here {3}= Data Set

Can any one say me what change i have to do in my grep so it will just get me the value of actual total

Thanks for helping me

Bhagya
