can I grep a part of one line ?
Code:
<exp  code="12556a"  message="ok, fine4" displayMessage="jksdfj ksd" \>
<exp  code="123456a"  message="ok, 2fine" displayMessage="jksdfj ksd" \>
<exp  code="12dfgda"  message="1ok, fine" displayMessage="jksdfj ksd" \>

now I want to cut code attribute and message attribute, such as code="12556a" message="ok, fine4"

any idea for solving it ?

Hi,

You can use awk,

awk -F' ' '{print $2" "$3$4;}' your_file_name

Cheers,

Code:
 
$ nawk  -F"\"" '{print $2, $4}' inputfile
12556a ok, fine4
123456a ok, 2fine
12dfgda 1ok, fine
