Question Need to split a string
Hi,

We have a SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-13 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5240.

I'm trying to find a way to split a string into 2 variables.

Ex:
parm1="192.168.1.101/parent/child"

What I need to do is split the string above into:

host="192.168.1.101"
location="parent/child"

I saw the solution provided here https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...tion-file.html but somehow we don't have the -o option for grep as I keep getting illegal option --o.

The purpose of this is for a shell script already created to do an FTP function. Originally it was intended for accepting HOST, USER, PASS and FILE parameters only. Basically file goes to whatever the main directory on FTP connect. Now users are passing HOST/folder as value for HOST parameter which gives out an error now since 192.168.1.101/parent/child is not a valid HOST. And it would be a lot of work to add another parameter for LOCATION because a lot of other programs are already using this script so I'm trying to avoid this solution for now.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

findsmb

FINDSMB(1)																FINDSMB(1)

NAME

       findsmb - list info about machines that respond to SMB name queries on a subnet

SYNOPSIS

       findsmb [subnetbroadcastaddress]

DESCRIPTION

       This perl script is part of the samba(7) suite.

       findsmb	is a perl script that prints out several pieces of information about machines on a subnet that respond to SMB name query requests.
       It uses nmblookup(1) and smbclient(1) to obtain this information.

OPTIONS

       -r
	  Controls whether findsmb takes bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name registered of the remote machine.  This
	  option  is  disabled	by  default because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only. If set, nmblookup(1) will be called
	  with -B option.

       subnet broadcast address
	  Without this option, findsmb will probe the subnet of the machine where findsmb(1) is run. This value is passed to nmblookup(1) as  part
	  of the -B option.

EXAMPLES

       The output of findsmb lists the following information for all machines that respond to the initial nmblookup for any name: IP address, Net-
       BIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.

       There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There will be an '*'	in
       front of the workgroup name for machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup. Machines that are running Windows for Work-
       groups, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will not show any information about the operating system or server version.

       The command with -r option must be run on a system without nmbd(8) running. If nmbd is running on the system, you  will	only  get  the	IP
       address	and  the DNS name of the machine. To get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, the command must be run as root
       and with -r option on a machine without nmbd running.

       For example, running findsmb without -r option set would yield output similar to the following

       IP ADDR	       NETBIOS NAME   WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the  Samba	Team  as  an  Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

       The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
       Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The  conversion	to
       DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
