Help me with parsing this file
Hi,

I need a shell script that would parse this file

/usr/share/i18n/locales/aa_DJ:title "Afar language locale for Djibouti (Cadu/Laaqo Dialects)."
/usr/share/i18n/locales/aa_ER:title "Afar language locale for Eritrea (Cadu/Laaqo Dialects)."
/usr/share/i18n/locales/aa_ER@saaho:title "Afar language locale for Eritrea (Saaho Dialect)."
/usr/share/i18n/locales/aa_ET:title "Afar language locale for Ethiopia (Cadu/Carra Dialects)."


I want output as this

Afar language locale for Djibouti (Cadu/Laaqo Dialects)
Afar language locale for Eritrea (Cadu/Laaqo Dialects)
Afar language locale for Eritrea (Saaho Dialect)
Afar language locale for Ethiopia (Cadu/Carra Dialects).

I'll greatly appreciate any help.


Thanks,
Sundeep

Code:
sed -e 's/.*"//;s/\."$//' file

That's not parsing, though, it's just throwing away the parts you don't want.

Or:

Code:
awk -F"\"" '{print $2}' file
