It's a little difficult understanding what you're trying to do. Perhaps if you forgot the code for a bit and gave more background about the task you are trying to accomplish, it would help.

This...

perl -p -e 's/(^.*:).*/$1 machinec/g' filename

(^.*:) Everything between (), the beginning of line "^" to ":" is put into variable "$1."

If you have perl installed, look for rename or prename on your system. Use the "-n" switch to test, and then "-v" when you want to make the change.

$ rename -n 's/(.*)/$1.txt/' *

In case there's some confusion, you probably want forward slashes like:
export PATH=$PATH:/var/home/etc

Another note, /var/home/etc seems like a strange place to put executables. /etc is where...

It's not /etc/resolve.conf it's /etc/resolv.conf (in case you were looking for the wrong file). /etc/resolv.conf is used to access the DNS servers the system uses. At least on the boxes I've seen. ...

Sorry I didn't have time to test yesterday. This should work, but a more elegant solution is probably out there.

Try -

$ hostname
$ cat /etc/hosts

Or if you know the IP address look into the host, dig or nslookup...

In bash the return code of a prog is in $?. Usually exit status 0 = success and 1 = failure.

If we look in the manpage for grep we find:

Normally, exit status is 0 if selected lines are...

A web search for "free shell access" should get you started.

Usually there is some type of package management system you can use to install programs. You can also compile from source code. Let the list know what flavor of Unix you are using and someone...

This might not be exactly what you're looking for but honestly it's what got me started down the *NIX road.

The real problem it looks like you were facing is reading "number" and then trying to pass it to the variable "$x" I've corrected that in the code below. The "-n" switch for echo doesn't terminate...

One more..... The grep one wasn't quite what you were looking for.

$ perl -nle 'while(m/\|(.*)/g){print "$1"}' test.txt

Here's another....
$ grep -o \|.*\|.* test.txt

Here's one way.....
awk -F "|" '{print $2"|"$3}' test.txt
