Shell Programming and Scripting

Guys, i'm new to shell scripting. Here's what i need.
I need a shell script which would read a file containing only 1 line which never changes.
File containts -
SQL_Mgd_Svc_ELONMCL54496 |EMEA\brookkev, EMEA\fieldgra, EMEA\tidmamar, EMEA\attfiste, EMEA\baldogar, EMEA\clarkia2, EMEA\conwasha, EMEA\ferguste, EMEA\ja&

Now, i need the script to print the words between EMEA\ and , (comma)
e.g. o/p should be as below -

brookkev
fieldgra
tidmamar
attfiste
:
:
ja&

Code:

sed 's/[^EMEA\\]*EMEA\\\([^,]*\)[,]*/\1\
/g' inputFile

Hi Anurag,
thnx for ur prompt response...meanwhile i found one more sed command as below -
cat testFile|cut -d'\' -f2- | sed 's/EMEA//g;s/\\//g;s/,//g'

which works fine too but trouble is i dont knw how to add this sed command in a shell script?

Below is my shell script

#!/usr/bin/ksh
FILE="$1";
`cat $FILE| cut -d'\' -f2- | sed 's/EMEA//g;s/\\//g;s/,//g'`

The o/p error i get is -
sed: -e expression #1, char 37: unterminated `s' command

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
FILE="$1"
cat $FILE| cut -d'\' -f2- | sed 's/EMEA//g;s/\\//g;s/,//g'

Are you putting this into a variable? like:

Code:

a=`cat $1 |cut -d'\' -f2- | sed 's/EMEA//g;s/\\//g;s/,//g'`

If so, try this:

Code:

cat $1|cut -d'\' -f2- | sed 's/EMEA//g;s/\\//g;s/,//g' | read a

Thanks freakygs

Thanks Anurag....it worked
Plz suggest me good awk, sed, ksh scripting tutorials..it would help me learning these things. thanks again.

Code:

sed 's/[^|]*|//;s/EMEA\\\([^,]*\)[, ]*/\1\n/g' infile

Code:

awk -F',* *EMEA\\\\' '{sub(/^[^|]+\|/,x);$1=$1}1' OFS="\n" infile
