Copy and Paste to a new document

Hello,

I am quite new to shell scripting so don't know all the tools available. What I'm trying to do is open a file optimal.txt search for objectiveValue and copy the number in quotes next to it.

e.g.
...
solutionName="incumbent"
solutionIndex="-1"
objectiveValue="13246"
solutionTypeValue="3"
...
where 13246 would be the number I would want to extract

Then copy and paste it into an existing file testcases.txt at the end of the file.

I thought of just using vim but not sure how that works with shell scripting, been looking at other posts for copy and paste and was thinking of using the function 'sed' but not so sure on how it works.


Thanks,

Stephan

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
