Nslookup how to remove interactive prompt
I am running this command

Code:
$ echo -en "set q=any\nwww.google.com\nexit\n" | nslookup | grep AAAA
> > > www.google.com    has AAAA address 2607:f8b0:400c:c01::93

Can someone help to remove displaying these "> " characters

Code:
echo -en "set q=any\nwww.google.com\nexit\n" | nslookup 2>/dev/null | grep AAAA

Also, echo -e isn't portable, I suggest printf, which is:

Code:
printf "set q=any\nwww.google.com\nexit\n" | nslookup 2>/dev/null | grep AAAA

Most nslookup support command line options:

Code:
$ nslookup -query=any www.google.com | grep AAAA
www.google.com  has AAAA address 2404:6800:4006:804::1012
