If they are space separated and you can be certain that Status will always be the penultimate one, you could use variable substitution:-
Code:
status_line=$(autorep -j $jobname | grep -E "^FR" )                # Catch the whole messages
status="${status_line#${status_line% * *}"                         # Chop off everything except the last two fields
status="${status% *}"                                              # Chop off the last field


There is also the awk way to do this, but it could be expensive if you call this in a loop. The above is all within the shell process.

How will you be running this?




I hope that this helps,
Robin
