Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

i need a string that take from a log file just two words (ngwan0) and his related ip address and then execute 2 commands in a shell. Any ideas where to start?

Thanks

Hello Board27,

Please always do show us the input and expected output to understand requirement completly.
Following is an example for same, but completly on my assumptions only.

Let's say following is an input file:

Code:

cat test78
ngwan0|12:12:12:100|bla_blA bla

Then if we need to take values of string and IPs into variables:

Code:

STRING=`awk -F"|" '{print $1}' test78`
IP=`awk -F"|" '{print $2}' test78`

Values of variables will be as follows.

Code:

echo $STRING
ngwan0
 
echo $IP
12:12:12:100

You can take this as a startup and try with your ideas. Please feel free to reach to us if you have any queries,
but do show us what you have tried along with input and expected output please.


Thanks,
R. Singh

man bash
