Java GREP/SED - get string in a line
Hi,

I simply try to get a string in a line but I do smth. wrong. Hopfefully you can help me Smilie

tried smth like:
Code:
 
ggrep -Eo " /folder1/folder2/folder3/* end" get_info_file > temp.file

I played a bit around but could not specify the end string command...

So this is the get_info_file:
Quote:
lines not needed....
start_1 /folder1/folder2/folder3/file_a end_1
start_2 /folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/file_b end_2
start_3 /folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/file_c end_3
lines not needed....
...
needed result:
Quote:
/folder1/folder2/folder3/file_a
/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/file_b
/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/file_c
so one idea is to find a string until space which includes /folder1/* without previous words, which are also seperated by space.

thanks a lot and best regards...

It suppose to be:

Code:
 
grep  "/folder1/folder2/folder3/" INPUTFILE | cut -d" " -f2

Sorry , but here "rem" is my inputfile name and pasted as it is!!!

Code:
awk '/\/folder1\/folder2\/folder3\//{print$2}' get_info_file >/tmp/grepoutput

or nawk on solaris
Code:
nawk '/\/folder1\/folder2\/folder3\//{print$2}' get_info_file >/tmp/grepoutput

Yeah now i get this... was searching for remove command :-)
But worked also with rem command like before and not having rem file...

So this is the final solution for me and works:
Code:
 
grep  "/folder1/folder2/folder3/" INPUTFILE | cut -d" " -f2 > tmp_grep

+thanks!

one more question regarding to the "cut delimiter" option.

man page tells me i can use multybyte delimiters, but i'm not able to...

example:
STRING.txt bla spam...
wished result:
STRING // so delimiter is .txt

I tried delimiter ".txt" - did not work
I tried delimiter "." - worked
so can anyone tell me how i can use more characters as delimiter? Also tried ' instead of "

thanks guys
& girls for sure

Found it out...

Code:
grep "/folderA/folderB" INPUT_FILE | cut -d " " -f2 | cut -d "." -f1,2 > OUTPUT_FILE

cut -d " " -f2 // ensures to get colums seperated by spaces and chooese second
cut -d "." -f1,2 // seperate above through dots and use first and second column
