Hi again
I know why the output is not correct. The file I sent you only had one occurrence of the 14 (09 01 932688 0)t.
The one I want to process got multiple. Is there someone who knows how I get only the first occurrence?
When I just run: sed -n -e 's/ /_/g' -e '/14/s/.*14_(\([0-9][_0-9]*\).*/\1.ps/gp' *.ps then I get the following:
09_01_932699_0.ps
09_01_932699_0.ps
09_01_932699_0.ps
5_.ps
5_.ps
5_.ps
09_01_932699_0.ps
5_.ps
09_01_932699_0.ps
5_.ps
5_.ps
5_.ps
09_01_932699_0.ps
5_.ps

I would like to have only the first 09_01_932699_0.ps

Best Regards,
John
