So I struggled to find a solution to the following problem:
I want to make sed print only part of multiple different paths.
So lets say we have
Can someone suggest a way to make sed or other utility print only the path name up to logs directory only? ie:
Thanks for the answers
By the way the solution will be implemented in a script which will run on multiple different machines, so the paths will always be different and not static.

Seems I'm inundating this forum with questions, but anyway:

That argument should designate a file, either with path/filename or just filename.

The line is simple, use " '{ print $1"]"$2"\"$3THE " NEEDS TO GO HERE$4 }'
I've tried \", "\, ^" and '"" but none of it works. What am I missing? Putting in the [ between $1 and $2 works fine, I just need to do the same with a ".
Thanks. (2 Replies)

link
LINK(2) BSD System Calls Manual LINK(2)NAME
link -- make a hard file link
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int
link(const char *path1, const char *path2);
DESCRIPTION
The link() function call atomically creates the specified directory entry (hard link) path2 with the attributes of the underlying object
pointed at by path1. If the link is successful, the link count of the underlying object is incremented; path1 and path2 share equal access
and rights to the underlying object.
If path1 is removed, the file path2 is not deleted and the link count of the underlying object is decremented.
In order for the system call to succeed, path1 must exist and both path1 and path2 must be in the same file system. As mandated by POSIX.1,
path1 may not be a directory.
link() will resolve and follow symbolic links contained within both path1 and path2. If the last component of path1 is a symbolic link,
link() will point the hard link, path2, to the underlying object pointed to by path1, not to the symbolic link itself.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
Link() will fail and no link will be created if:
[EACCES] A component of either path prefix denies search permission.
[EACCES] The requested link requires writing in a directory with a mode that denies write permission.
[EACCES] The current process cannot access the existing file.
[EDQUOT] The directory in which the entry for the new link is being placed cannot be extended because the user's quota of disk
blocks on the file system containing the directory has been exhausted.
[EEXIST] The link named by path2 already exists.
[EFAULT] One of the pathnames specified is outside the process's allocated address space.
[EIO] An I/O error occurs while reading from or writing to the file system to make the directory entry.
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links are encountered in translating one of the pathnames. This is taken to be indicative of a looping
symbolic link.
[EMLINK] The file already has {LINK_MAX} links.
[ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a pathname exceeds {NAME_MAX} characters, or an entire path name exceeded {PATH_MAX} characters.
[ENOENT] A component of either path prefix does not exist, or is a dangling symbolic link.
[ENOENT] The file named by path1 does not exist, or is a dangling symbolic link.
[ENOSPC] The directory in which the entry for the new link is being placed cannot be extended because there is no space left on the
file system containing the directory.
[ENOTDIR] A component of either path prefix is not a directory.
[EPERM] The file named by path1 is a directory.
[EROFS] The requested link requires writing in a directory on a read-only file system.
[EXDEV] The link named by path2 and the file named by path1 are on different file systems.
SEE ALSO symlink(2), unlink(2)STANDARDS
The link() function is expected to conform to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 (``POSIX.1'').
