Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi
I need some help with using shell script to analyze the content of a file. I hope someone can help me.

I have a file with content like the following:
/foldera/database/procedure/a.proc$$/version1/2
/folderb/database/procedure/proj1/b.proc$$/version2/2

I need to write a shell script to get the lines that contains ".proc" but I need to delete anything after .proc.
For example, for the above two lines, I need to get
/foldera/database/procedure/a.proc
/folderb/database/procedure/proj1/b.proc

So that I can go to each file and perform more analysis

when I do

Code:

grep ".proc" file.txt

I get the entire line including $$...
I am not sure how to remove the $$.. part

Please help

Thanks

someone post the similar problem as mine.

It is to remove .null T from 'M000071.null T'
The script

Code:

echo 'M00071.null T' | sed 's#^\(M[0-9][0-9]*\)[.]null.*#\1#'

works

I try

Code:

echo '/foldera/database/procedure/a.proc@@/version1/2' | sed 's#^\(*\)[.]proc.*#\1#'

My script just return the whole line.

I can't figure out what's wrong with my script...
Thanks in advance for any help

Why don't you simply do this:

Code:

$ cat file.txt
/foldera/database/procedure/a.proc$$/version1/2
/folderb/database/procedure/proj1/b.proc$$/version2/2
$ cut -d'$' -f1 < file.txt
/foldera/database/procedure/a.proc
/folderb/database/procedure/proj1/b.proc

HTH

Code:

 cat file.txt | awk -F '\\$\\$' '{print $1}'

And another one:

Hi All
Thank you all for your help. I am using cut, because it's easier to understand for me


I have an issue with grep before pipe the result to get the $$.. removed.

I have
grep ".proc" file.txt | cut ....

From my understanding, it should only return lines with .proc
However, I am not getting how come the following line also gets returned?

/vobs/aw/database/proc/Account$$/main

Can someone help me, how can I modify my grep so that only something like a.proc or b.proc get returned ?

Thanks

Code:

sed -n -e "s/\$\$.*//p" input.txt
