Thanks..But, it's not working ...

Code:
tnsping abc | nawk '/PORT =/ { gsub( ".*PORT =", "" ); gsub( ").*", "" ); print; }'
nawk: illegal primary in regular expression ).* at .*
 source line number 1
 context is
        /PORT =/ { gsub( ".*PORT =", "" ); gsub( ").*", "" >>>  ) <<<

Thanks

I've always found /usr/xpg4/bin/awk to be a bit more "reliable" than nawk. Please try that.

(and please also use code tags for terminal output Smilie)

Maybe not the best sed, but does the trick:

Code:
$ tnsping DB1 | sed -n "s/.*PORT = \([^)]*\).*/\1/p"

Thanks

---------- Post updated at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:14 AM ----------

Code:
sed -n \"s/.*PORT = \\([^)]*\\).*/\\1/p\""

if I want to check PORT=, PORT =, PORT = all in one condition , is this possible ?

Thanks

Sure! An asterisk (*) in a RE means "zero or more":

Code:
sed -n \"s/.*PORT *= *\\([^)]*\\).*/\\1/p\""

it's not working . I will explain bit more . The output sometimes comes back like this :

PORT=
PORT =
PORT =


need to check for above three contions.
Scot, the solution you provided is not working.

Thanks

Why did I cut-and-paste the command from your last post into my reply?

Where did you get that command from?

Code:
$ tnsping DB1 | sed -n "s/.*PORT *= *\([^)]*\).*/\1/p"
1521

Works fine.
