GawkING Data from Ping
I am trying to cut out the "time" in the ttl field from:
Code:
64 bytes from 4.2.2.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=26.2 ms
64 bytes from 4.2.2.5: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=20.5 ms
64 bytes from 4.2.2.5: icmp_seq=3 ttl=54 time=26.5 ms
64 bytes from 4.2.2.5: icmp_seq=4 ttl=54 time=29.8 ms
^C

and am having a little trouble doing so. When I attempt to use GAWK like:
Code:
ping 4.2.2.4 | gawk -F ' ' '{IGNORECASE=1;} /time/ {print $(NF-1)}'
time=37.1
time=32.8
time=37.2
time=34.4
^C

I cannot isolate just the digits using the cut command:
Code:
ping 4.2.2.4 | gawk -F ' ' '{IGNORECASE=1;} /time/ {print $(NF-1)}'| cut -c 5-

it simply produced nothing. I have tried many different variables and cannot figure out what it is. Why is the cut command not doing what I am asking it to do. I would like it to produce:
Code:
37.1
32.8
37.2
34.4

at the end of the day I would have a one-liner something like this;
Code:
for r in *; do (ping 4.2.2.4 | gawk -F ' ' '{IGNORECASE=1;} /time/ {print $7}'| cut -c 5-);if [ $r -ge 50 ] echo "ttl time is greater that 50" fi;done

Code:
$ ping -c 4 66.82.4.8 | awk -F" " '/time/ { T=substr($(NF-1),6)+0 ; if(T>50) print T }'
69.5
69.8
69.4
69.5

Another approach:-
Code:
ping -c 4 66.82.4.8 | gawk -F'[= ]' '/time=/&&$(NF-1)>=50{print $(NF-1)}'
