Thanks for your help. I want to do it in grep because I need to extract the matched strings using grep -o.
Actually, for the first example, I want to match only things that are between 3 and 6. That would be fine, not needed to match
only the first occurrence.
But for this new string, I want to match only the pattern 347 + something + 35 + 4 characters. And
After the patterns always follow 6789. But with the regex I'm trying is not printing anything.
The match strings should be those 2 in red:
Maybe could be done with grep this.
Thanks in advance.

I am using grep to pull out info from a file.

My grep is as follows:
start="$( grep 'START TIME' filename | cut -c15-33)"

Hi,
I've been trying to write a regex to use in egrep (in a shell script) that'll fetch the names of all the files that match a particular pattern. I expect to match the following line in a file:
Name = "abc"
The regex I'm using to match the same is:
egrep -l '(^) *= *" ** *"$' /PATH_TO_SEARCH... (6 Replies)
Hey everyone,
Basically, all I'm looking for is a way to regex for not a certain string. The regex I'm looking to avoid matching is:
D222
i.e. an equivalent of:
awk '!/D222/'
The problem is that I use this in the following command in a Bash script:
ls ${source_directory} | awk... (1 Reply)

Tie::Hash::Regex - Match hash keys using Regular Expressions
SYNOPSIS
use Tie::Hash::Regex;
my %h;
tie %h, 'Tie::Hash::Regex';
$h{key} = 'value';
$h{key2} = 'another value';
$h{stuff} = 'something else';
print $h{key}; # prints 'value'
print $h{2}; # prints 'another value'
print $h{'^s'}; # prints 'something else'
print tied(%h)->FETCH(k); # prints 'value' and 'another value'
delete $h{k}; # deletes $h{key} and $h{key2};
or (new! improved!)
my $h : Regex;
DESCRIPTION
Someone asked on Perlmonks if a hash could do fuzzy matches on keys - this is the result.
If there's no exact match on the key that you pass to the hash, then the key is treated as a regex and the first matching key is returned.
You can force it to leap straight into the regex checking by passing a qr'ed regex into the hash like this:
my $val = $h{qr/key/};
"exists" and "delete" also do regex matching. In the case of "delete" all vlaues matching your regex key will be deleted from the hash.
One slightly strange thing. Obviously if you give a hash a regex key, then it's possible that more than one key will match (consider
c<$h{qw/./}>). It might be nice to be able to do stuff like:
my @vals = $h{$pat};
to get all matching values back. Unfortuately, Perl knows that a given hash key can only ever return one value and so forces scalar context
on the "FETCH" call when using the tied interface. You can get round this using the slightly less readable:
my @vals = tied(%h)->FETCH($pat);
ATTRIBUTE INTERFACE
From version 0.06, you can use attributes to define your hash as being tied to Tie::Hash::Regex. You'll need to install the module
Attribute::Handlers.
METHODS
FETCH
Get a value from the hash. If there isn't an exact match try a regex match.
EXISTS
See if a key exists in the hash. If there isn't an exact match try a regex match.
DELETE
Delete a key from the hash. If there isn't an exact match try a regex match.
