Shell Programming and Scripting

I have a file having lines like:

14: <a="b" val="c"/>
18: <a="x" val="d"/>
54: <a="b" val="c"/>
58: <a="x" val="e"/>


I need to create a file with output:
14
d
54
e

So basically, for every odd line I need 1st word if delimiter is ':' and for every even line I need 4th word if delimiter is "
........

Any help plz.....

Code:

awk -F\" 'NR%2{sub (":.*","",$1);print $1;next}{print $4}' file

Thanks a lot.. Its working in bash but not in ksh.

Try:

Code:

awk -F'"' 'NR%2{sub (":.*","",$1);print $1;next}{print $4}' file

I mean when run in cygwin, it works but when uploaded in unix server, it giving an error of "bailing out"

What is the full error message you are receiving?

I tried: awk -F'"' 'NR%2{sub (":.*","",$1);print $1;next}{print $4}' file
but its giving same error...
