Using grep to select data from file
Hello all,

Once again I need to call upon the masters for help. I have a file called endpoint_data. IN that file I have groups of endpoints. However all I need from the file is this....

Code:
ENDPOINT NAME      = SIPWOODSBC
SIG PRI FQDN/IP ADDRESS/DOMAIN NAME = 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
SIG SEC FQDN/IP ADDRESS = 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Im trying to figure out a command that will grep the file for these lines and display them neatly in a file together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Smilie

What have you figured so far?

You could help your chances for an answer
You need to provide better titles to questions, and to show more detail in your question. You are kind of showing desired output (I think) but no input.
Also, as Scott asked... what have you tried?

IM sorry, Im a beginner.


I have a file, with groups of data in it.

For example, each group looks like this within the file...
Code:
CONTACT ID         = 5346                 ENDPOINT NAME      = 8888888888
ENDPOINT ID        = 673                  HOST ADDRESS       = 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
PORT               = 5060                 TYPE               = NONE
TRANSPORT TYPE     = UDP                  MEDIA TYPE         = AUDIO
PRIORITY           = 0.0                  TIME TO LIVE       = 3600
REG EXPIRATION TIME= Fri May 24 10:18:49 2013
PRI ADDRESS RECORD = 
CONTACT URI        = sip:8888888888@10.xxx.xxx.xxx:5060;transport=udp
REGISTRATION TYPE  = REGISTERED
ENDPOINT ALIAS NAME= 8888888888
CONTACT NUMBER     = 1                    WEIGHT             = 0

Now, Id like to grep specific lines from this data, and put them together just like this..

Code:
ENDPOINT NAME= 8888888888   HOST ADDRESS  = 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

This is all I am trying to accomplish.

So far, Ive done this..

Code:
grep "ENDPOINT NAME" endpointdata >data1
grep "HOST ADDRESS" endpointdata >data2
paste data1 data2 > data3

This seems to work, but its messy. Was hoping for some better ways to learn.

From what you show above, you could:-
Code:
echo "ENDPOINT NAME      = SIPWOODSBC
SIG PRI FQDN/IP ADDRESS/DOMAIN NAME = 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
SIG SEC FQDN/IP ADDRESS = 10.xxx.xxx.xxx"

....or if this is in a file:-
Code:
cat filename

You have not given me anything else to consider or any output from failed attempts.

Do you have a sample of input perhaps?
