Getting a string without fixed delimiters
I have a line of text for example


aaaa bbbb cccc dddd eeee ffffff

I would need to get the cccc however bbbb could be there or not.
So whether bbbb is in the line or not I need cccc.


I was looking at either awk or sed....and trying to start at c and end until the next space.


Also the fields are not all spaced out as example..It varies.
