Try putting the code that I supplied earlier into a file, not the subsequent variations that use escapes.
Code:
$1=="NTP"{gsub(/[^0-9\.]*/,"",$2);print $2}

Otherwise install Cygwin, which gives you a bash shell under Windows and some utilities like gawk.

You could also try this simplified awk script without " in the program (BTW probably best to keep the sign on the front as adjustments can be negative too):

Code:
C:\home\cubler> gawk -F "[s ]" "/^NTP:/ { print $2 }" time
+0.0162516

Without +/- sign:
Code:
C:\home\cubler> gawk -F "[s+-]" "/^NTP:/ { print $2 }" time
0.0162516

I prefer to use grep

grep -o "[+-]\?[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+s" ufile

This the best one I've got so far, my output is:
Code:
+0.0162516s

Is there a way we can exclude the + and s?
