Code:
#!/bin/ksh

str1='Case Modify 10001 20002 30003 40004|Report Create 3417176211|Case Modify 1 0002 20002 30003 40004'

str2='Case Modify 10001'

echo "str1 BEFORE->[${str1}]"
str1=$(echo "${str1}" | nawk -F'|' -v str2="${str2}" '$0 ~ str2 { print $2,$3}')
echo "str1 AFTER->[${str1}]"

next time..... if you could show what you've tried you might get a more willing to help audience.

The problem I got is if str1 keep larger , if str1 !~ str2 then str2 will be add to str1
str1 = str2 + str1
and keep go on
and we really dont know what field str2 is matching in str1 Smilie , we only know we should remove the extra part if they matched.

Sorry for my English Smilie

have you tried the suggested solution? And if so, what was the result of that?

I think if we know the position where it match, then we can follow your code. But we dont know Smilie . I am thinging to use subtr then we never have subtract Smilie
If str1 = 'A|B|C|D|E..'
and str2 is A or B or D or E ...
then str1 will remove A or B or C or D or E
then str1 = str1 "|" str2 again Smilie

sorry I don't understand what you're trying to say/do......
Again have you tried the posted code?

Can you show an example where the output is not what you desire AND provide a sample of desired results.

Here is my code and I solved the problem with CDxAcct but can not figure out how to remove the duplicate "Case Modify ID" or remove "Case Access ID"
