I need to create data files showing the Etot (for example) over all 2500 entries. I've tried grep "Etot" filename > newfile but then I get something like this:
So far, I've just been marking and killing the columns I don't need (ctrl+space at top, ctrl+x at bottom opposite corner of column,r,k), but it's slow when you have 2500 lines. I'm coming up on data that will have 10000 lines and I need to do this quicker. I desire something like this ( which would just be the data for only the Etot column, minus the Etot = portion):
The only reason I mention variables here is that it might be saving it as a variable when it reports it to the output file. I'm not sure though, since I'm still a newbie at Unix
