Print a pattern from a file
Hi Smilie,
Pls help me in solving a problem. I have a file containing several lines as shown below:
Code:
BS30_CFNRC='P';BS30_BAOC='P';BS30_BOIC='P';BS30_BAIC='P';
BS30_BICRO='P';BS30_CAW='P';Loc_Code='VLR known';VLR_address='919457499995';Nbr_indicator='MSC';MSC_MSRN_Nbr='919457499995';

There is no fixed location for the parameter on a line so that i may cut it. I want to fetch on e.g. VLR_address and corresponding value (next few characters (='919457499995') of it so that i may uniquely sort them later for post-processing.

Thnx in advance.

Code:
sed 's/.*\(VLR_address=[^;]*\);.*/\1/' file
