<java.net.URL>http://server:port/abcd/MaintainRequest.do?operation=121&amp;requestId=123456789&amp;subrequestId=123654789</java.net.URL>

I want below to get below output

Did you consider setting the field separator to something different from the default when using awk (e.g. ";")?

And, why do you cut 4 chars when you need 48?

I was trying doing that. but cut command give me only one line and my output is at two different places

below awk also gave me single line in return
Code:
awk '{print $1;}' test

I used
Code:
cut -c17-38 test

to get line from http Smilie

Please use CODE tags, not ICODE tags to wrap all code, files, input & output/errors
It makes it easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed width data.

... which would yield tp://server:port/abcd/. Do you know what man pages are and are for?

Code:
cut -c15-37,99-121 file
http://server:port/abcd;subrequestId=123654789

is not quite what you seem to need, and it will fail if any of the data changes.

Even
Code:
awk '{gsub (/<[^>]*>/,_);sub (/\/[^\/]*$/, _, $1); print $1, $4}' FS="[?;]" file
http://server:port/abcd subrequestId=123654789

will fail if the input structure changes...

input will always be same but there will be n number of line.
what you suggest will be better to use

i know what is man and what it for but i didn't know we can use cut command the way you use it, its learning for me.
