Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Want to parse output for variables in Bash Post 302418228 by randyharris on Monday 3rd of May 2010 02:55:00 PM

I was looking to leverage this to a very similar situation, in this other situation the pattern I am trying to match shows up in the information multiple times. Is there a way I can tell it to only return the 1st time after the pattern match and not continue to show the ones that show up afterwards.

e.g.:
width = 720
thisfield =
thatthat =
width = 853
thisotherfield =
thatotherfield =
width = 853

"width = " shows up multiple times, I would only like to see the value for the first, 720.

NAME
xlsfonts - server font list displayer for X SYNOPSIS
xlsfonts [-display host:dpy] [-l] [-ll] [-lll] [-m] [-C] [-1] [-w width] [-n columns] [-u] [-o] [-fn pattern] DESCRIPTION
xlsfonts lists the fonts that match the given pattern. The wildcard character "*" may be used to match any sequence of characters (includ- ing none), and "?" to match any single character. If no pattern is given, "*" is assumed. The "*" and "?" characters must be quoted to prevent them from being expanded by the shell. OPTIONS
-display host:dpy This option specifies the X server to contact. -d host:dpy Same as -display host:dpy. -l Lists some attributes of the font on one line in addition to its name. -ll Lists font properties in addition to -l output. -lll Lists character metrics in addition to -ll output. -m This option indicates that long listings should also print the minimum and maximum bounds of each font. -C This option indicates that listings should use multiple columns. This is the same as -n 0. -1 This option indicates that listings should use a single column. This is the same as -n 1. -w width This option specifies the width in characters that should be used in figuring out how many columns to print. The default is 79. -n columns This option specifies the number of columns to use in displaying the output. By default, it will attempt to fit as many columns of font names into the number of character specified by -w width. -u This option indicates that the output should be left unsorted. -o This option indicates that xlsfonts should do an OpenFont (and QueryFont, if appropriate) rather than a ListFonts. This is useful if ListFonts or ListFontsWithInfo fail to list a known font (as is the case with some scaled font systems). -fn pattern This option specifies the font name pattern to match. SEE ALSO
X(7), Xserver(1), xset(1), xfd(1), X Logical Font Description Conventions ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY DISPLAY must be set to get the default host and display to use. BUGS
Doing ``xlsfonts -l'' can tie up your server for a very long time. This is really a bug with single-threaded non-preemptable servers, not with this program. AUTHOR
