Extract multiple strings from line
Hello

I have an output that has a string between quotes and another between square brackets on the same line. I need to extract these 2 strings Example line
Code:
Device "nrst3a" attributes=(0x4) RAW     SERIAL_NUMBER=SN[VD073AV1443BVW00083]L2

Output should look like
Code:
nrst3a VD073AV1443BVW00083

I was trying with sed and I can get the quotes but how do I also add the the output for the square brackets on the same sed command.

Thanks for your help

Code:
sed -n 's/.*"\([^"]*\)".*\[\([^]]*\)\].*/\1 \2/p'

Code:
perl -ne 'print if s/.*"(.*?)".*\[(.*?)\].*/$1 $2/'

If you have the output in a variable, you don't need any external command:
Code:
output='Device "nrst3a" attributes=(0x4) RAW     SERIAL_NUMBER=SN[VD073AV1443BVW00083]L2'

IFS=\" read a s1 b <<< "$output"
IFS=\[\] read a s2 b <<< "$output"
echo "$s1 $s2"

This uses bash; in other shells you can do the same with a "here document".
