Grep command issue
How am I supposed to print with one Unix command the names (and only the names) of company JMT? Problems with scandinavian letters? By typing

Code:
grep JMT url | egrep --only-matching '[^[:digit:]]+'

I still have company name and + marks I should get rid of.

I'd be very grateful of your help bacause I am new to this.

Code:
    [Name]                  [Company]
1. Matti Meikäläinen               TTK               36.9
2. Teemu Aho                       JMT               37.0  +0.1
3. Kaarna Käyrä                    JMT               37.1  +0.1
4. Maija Meheväv                   TTK               37.2  +0.1
5. Giglio Matjusha                 JMT               37.3  +0.1

It is not that straightforward, because names are perhaps not always only 2 words and what is trailing might vary as well.
This might work:
Code:
sed '1d;s/[^ \]*[ \t]//;s/[ \t][[:upper:]]\{2\}.*//' infile

Just JMT would be:
Code:
sed '1d;/JMT/!d;s/[^ \]*[ \t]//;s/[ \t][[:upper:]]\{2\}.*//' infile

-or a somewhat complicated field separator-
Code:
awk -F'[ \t][[:upper:]]{2}|[0-9]+\.[ \t]+' 'NR>1&&/JMT/{print $2}' infile

-if Finnish names are always two words:
Code:
awk 'NR>1 && /JMT/{print $2,$3}' infile
