Read file and get the data then put it in array
Hi,

I have a file called "readfile" it contains below parameters

#cat readfile

word=/abc=225,/abc/cba=150 three=12 four=45 five=/xyz/yza

likewise multiple line.

From the above file, I have to read "word"

output should be like,

/abc
/abc/cba

these values need to be put in an array.

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply,


requirement:
1. runtime a script has to read a file and get the values of "word"
here "word" may contains one or two fields separated by comma,


word=/abc=225,/abc/cba

as it has two fields, So I need to put it in an array, so that I can use each filed at a time.

Try
Code:
awk '{for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) if ($i ~ /word/) {split ($i, A, "[=,]"); print A[2] " " A[4]}}' file
/abc /abc/cba

and read man bash (or whatever your shell be) on how to assign to an array.
