Full Discussion: Bash script to read a hostname and separate into variables

off the top of my head, this should work:

Code:
machine=`echo $hostname | awk -F'-' '{print $1}'`
group=`echo $hostname | awk -F'-' '{print $2}'`
building=`echo $hostname | awk -F'-' '{print $3}' | sed 's/\..*//'`

I'm sure there is a better way. There is always 17+ ways to skin the cat.
