Shell Programming and Scripting

Nicely alphabetically sorted

Code:

awk -F'[@:]' '{print $2}' infile | sort -u

Code:

sed 's\@\\;s\:.*\\' infile | sort -u

No sort:

Code:

awk -F'[@:]' '!A[$2]++{print $2}' infile

Code:

# sed -n 's/^@//;s/:.*//p' infile | sed -e :x -e 'N;s/\(.*\)\n\1/ \1/' -e 'tx'|sed 's/  */\n/g;s/^\n//g'

Just saw the same command already given.

Code:

awk -F"[@:]" '!a[$2]++{print $2}' infile

Code:

 
awk -F"[@:]" '!_[$2]++{print $2}' infile

...Edit...
oh...i didn't see the replies on the second page. My bad!!!

Thanks, I got all the car makes put into a selection box! I want people to be able to pick a make and then pick an option. For example: Select Audi in the selection box and then have the options (warranty, price, color) in checkboxes.

I need the script to pull out the options from the file, they can't be hard coded. All the options follow the ":" For example:
@Audi:Warranty (Warranty is the option)

Thanks

Something like this?

Code:

awk -F'[@:]' '$2==b{print $3}' b=Audi infile
