Extract a part of variable/line content in a file
I have a variable and assigned the following values
***XYZ_201519_20150929140642_20150929140644_211_0_0_211
I need to read this variable from backward and stop read when I get first underscore (_)
In this scenario I should get 211
Thanks
Kris

I need some help. I would like to read in a text file.
Take a variable such as ROW-D-01, compare it to what's in one line in the text file such as PROD/VM/ROW-D-01 and only input PROD/VM into a variable without the /ROW-D-01.
Is this possible? any help is appreciated. (2 Replies)
