regex help to get unique hostnames
Hi

I have a file containing hostnames like this

Code:
(host=myhost.domain.com) or
(host=myhost)

i need to extarct the unique hostnames without the domain names from that file.
so my output should be myhost (without domain names)

But my regex skills are rusty

Code:
i tried grep "host" myfile|uniq

Code:
but this matches host=myhost.domain.com

instead of just everything after host=

any ideas on how do i construct my regex

A awk one:

Code:
$ cat f
(host=myhost1.domain1.com)
(host=myhost2)
(host=myhost3.domain3.com)
(host=myhost1.domain1.com)
(host=myhost1.domain1.com)
(host=myhost2)
(host=myhost4)

$ awk -F"[=.)]" '{h[$2]=1}END{for(i in h) print i}' f
myhost1
myhost2
myhost3
myhost4

Or:
Code:
$ awk -F"[=.)]" '!c[$2]++{print $2}' f
