Script output as input for next command
Hi All,
Hoping you can help as im in desperate need... I'm very new to unix scripting so apoligies,

I have setup an expect script in order to log into a node on our network, This will provide an output as per the below

Code:
*********** information:
    *************: n/a
    TEST IP : n/a
    ****************: n/a                  ***************: n/a

  ********* Information:
    **********: 345:66:25434
    **********: 345:66:8468
    *********: n/a
    *******************: n/a
    *******************:
      ***** ***** **: 33:345:66
      TEST IP : 123.45.67.89

What I need to be able to do is read the IP address next to where it says TEST IP and then use this in another command. Problem I have is the IP does not always display in the bottom TEST IP line sometimes it can be in the first TEST IP line and N/A will be next to the second.

Essentially I need to read the IP address next to TEST IP and then use in another command. Would anyone be kind enough to help me out please. Sorry for the stars but as its security info I cant show it.

Thanks In advance.

liquidsoap

LIQUIDSOAP(1)						      General Commands Manual						     LIQUIDSOAP(1)

NAME

       liquidsoap - a multimedia streaming language

SYNOPSIS

       liquidsoap [options] [script|expression]

DESCRIPTION

       Liquidsoap  is  a  programming  language for describing multimedia streaming systems.  It is very flexible, making simple things simple but
       giving a lot of control for advanced uses.  Liquidsoap supports audio, video and MIDI streams, and a wide range of  input/output  operators
       including  Icecast and various soundcard APIs.  It can perform a broad range of signal processing, combine streams in various ways, support
       custom transitions, generate sound procedurally...  and all this can be assembled as you wish.  Input files can be  accessed  remotely,	or
       even be synthesized on the fly using external scripts such as speech synthesis.	Finally, interaction with a running liquidsoap instance is
       possible via telnet or socket.

       Liquidsoap scripts passed on the command line will be evaluated: they shall be used to define the streaming system to be ran.  It is possi-
       ble  to pass multiple scripts; they will all be ran successively, and definitions from one script can be used in subsequent ones.  A script
       will be read from standard input if - is given as script filename.  Information about scripting liquidsoap is  available  on  our  website:
       http://savonet.sf.net/

       If  the	parameter is not a file it will be treated as an expression which will be executed. It is a convenient way to test simple one-line
       scripts. When running only one-liners, the default is to log messages directly on stdout rather than to a file.

OPTIONS

       -
	       Read script from standard input.

       --     Stop parsing the command-line and pass subsequent items to the script.

       --debug
	      Print debugging log messages.

       --dynamic-plugins-dir path
	      Directory where to look for plugins.

       --errors-as-warnings
	      Issue warnings instead of fatal errors for unused variables and ignored expressions. If you are not sure about it, it is	better	to
	      not use it.

       --interactive

       --list-plugins

	      Do not load pervasive script libraries.

       --version

       -c, --check
	      Check and evaluate scripts but do not perform any streaming.

       -cl, --check-lib
	      Like --check but treats all scripts and expressions as libraries, so that unused toplevel variables are not reported.

       -d, --daemon
	      Run in daemon mode.

       -f, --force-start
	      For advanced dynamic uses: force liquidsoap to start even when no active source is initially defined.

       -h plugin
	      Print the description of a plugin, eg. a builtin scripting function.

       -i     Display infered types.

       -p, --parse-only
