I'm having trouble breaking a string into four different numbers. What I'm starting out with is
foo='1218141 1441 1664 122222'
and what I want to have is
a=1218141
b=1441
c=1664
d=122222
I'm tried using some pattern matching to break the string up into these four different variables, but the only way I've been able to accomplish this has been with significantly more code than is absolutely necessary. There has to be an easier way to do this.
Hi!
Here's one a bit more generic solution using bash's array capabilities:
The idea is to use the shell's capability of splitting strings into positional parameters, and then simply loop over them, inserting each value into the array.

Hi Everyone,
I have:
$val="QQ3_1899_CD4".
The output will be:
1899.
I did $val =~ /(\d+)/g; the output is 318994, then i use substr to get those 1899. This is not efficient.
Is any simple way, like just one line can do? Thanks (1 Reply)
