I won't pretend. I am no bash, grep, awk or sed specialist but I have tried for a couple of days to extract something from a line in a file but have badly failed. There are just too may parenthesis, quotemarks, periods, etc. to trip me up, I think.
I need to extract mail24b.someplace.net and nothing more or less than that. I have to consider that mail24b.someplace.net is an unknown though. It could be mail.goober.org or incoming.outthere.com, etc. Whatever ... I just need to extract the info between that last set of quotes in the line.

I appreciate the help from both of you. I get to learn something out of this. Thank you!
Yeah, I caught that when comparing my attempts to the suggestions that were submitted. I retain well when learning by trial and error and this was definitely an error.
