Now I need to search for two patterns on the same line.

*IP= + *NM=

I have tried this without any success.

Quote:
sed -n 's/.*\*IP=,*NM=\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/p' /path/to/inputfile
or
sed -n 's/.*\*IP=\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/p' | sed -n 's/.*\*NM=\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1/p' /path/to/inputfile
Can you advice?

It might help a little to learn a few basics of regular expressions. You might want to read this thread for a (very short) introduction on regular expressions.

Here is what extracts from your sample above what you want:

Code:
sed -n '/IP=.*NM=/ {
            s/^.*IP=\([^ ]*\) .*NM=\([^ ]*\) .*$/\1 \2/p
            }
        /NM=.*IP=/ {
            s/^.*NM=\([^ ]*\) .*IP=\([^ ]*\) .*$/\2 \1/p
            }' /path/to/file

I hope this helps.
