Search and print a certain number in a file
Hi,

I have a file that contains strings and numbers. I want to search for a particular string and then print out the numbers next to this string.

For example the file looks like in the file I want to search for the line


Code:
AFUE      0.
AOXI      0.
VFUE     600.
VOXI     1573.241
TFUE    300.
TOXI    1666.874 !1500.
TMAX   2400.
GRID  .00
GRID  .05
GRID  .10

I want to search for VOXI and then print out 1573.241 in a file.

Many thanks.
