Get specific output from grep [duplicate] - linux

How to get the second column from command output?
(8 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am trying to get a specific output using grep but I am unable to do so.
Here is my grep command :
crictl inspect 47aaecb541688accf37840108cc0d19b39b84f8337740edf2ca7e5e81a24328e | grep "io.kubernetes.pod.namespace"
The output of the above command is "io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": "kube-system",
I even tried
crictl inspect 47aaecb541688accf37840108cc0d19b39b84f8337740edf2ca7e5e81a24328e | grep -Po '(?<="io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": ").*' but the output i got is kube-system",
I just want the value i.e just kube-system
How do I modify my grep command.
Thanks for the help

Using grep
We need to make just one small change to the grep -P command. Your command was:
$ echo '"io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": "kube-system",' | grep -Po '(?<="io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": ").*'
kube-system",
We just need to replace .* (which matches everything to the end of the line) with [^"]* with matches everything up to but not including the first ":
$ echo '"io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": "kube-system",' | grep -Po '(?<="io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": ")[^"]*'
kube-system
Or, using your crictl command:
crictl inspect 47aaecb541688accf37840108cc0d19b39b84f8337740edf2ca7e5e81a24328e | grep -Po '(?<="io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": ")[^"]*'
Using sed
$ echo '"io.kubernetes.pod.namespace": "kube-system",' | sed -n '/"io.kubernetes.pod.namespace"/{s/.*": "//; s/".*//p}'
kube-system
How it works:
-n tells sed not to print unless we explicitly ask it to.
/"io.kubernetes.pod.namespace"/{...} selects only those lines that contain "io.kubernetes.pod.namespace" and performs the commands in braces on them.
s/.*": "// removes everything from the beginning of the line to the last occurrence of ": ".
s/".*//p removes everything from the first remaining " to the end of the line and prints the result.

How to grep for contents after pattern?

I need to get the IP from a log I need to grep the true-client and after that I need to grep true-client-ip=[191.168.171.15] and get just the IP
2019.02.14-08:26:06:713,asd:1234:chan,0.000,asd,S,request-begin-site,POST,{remoteHost=1.2.3.4,remoteAddr=1.2.3.4,requestType=POST,serverName=api=[text/html],accept-charset=[iso-12345-15, utf-8;q=0.5, *;q=0.5],accept-encoding=[gzip],server-origin=[5],cache-control=[no-cache, max-age=0],pragma=[no-cache],program-header=[true],te=[chunked;q=1.0],true-client-ip=[191.168.171.15],true-host=[www.server.com]
I was trying grep -o "true-client-ip=[^ ]*," but it brings me:
true-client-ip=[191.168.171.15],true-host=[www.server.com]
I need just true-client-ip=[191.168.171.15] so I can cut after to bring get the IP like true-client-ip=[191.168.171.15] | cut -d= -f2
Using grep -P flag if available :
grep -oP 'true-client-ip=\[\K[^]]*'
Perl's \K meta-character discards what precedes when displaying the result, so it will match the "true-client-ip=[" part but only display the IP.
If grep -P isn't available, I would use sed :
sed -nE 's/.*true-client-ip=\[([^]]*).*/\1/p'
If you have GNU grep, you can do it like this:
$ grep -oP "(?<=true-client-ip=\[)[^\]]*" file
191.168.171.15
The (?<=) is called Positive Lookbehind, which you can find related doc here.
The backslash \ in [^\]] is actually unnecessary, I just feel like to add it to make it more intuitive, less misleading-prone :-) .

How to take a text between "/" with Awk / cut? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
shell script to extract text from a variable separated by forward slashes
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have this command in a script:
find /home/* -type d -name dev-env 2>&1 | grep -v 'Permiso' >&2 > findPath.txt
this gives me this back:
/home/user/project/dev-env
I need to take the second parameter between "/" (user) to save it later in a variable. I can not find the way to just pick up the "user" text.
Using cut:
echo "/home/user/project/dev-env" | cut -d'/' -f3
Result:
user
This tells cut to use / as the delimiter and return the 3rd field. (The 1st field is blank/empty, the 2nd field is home.)
Using awk:
echo "/home/user/project/dev-env" | awk -F/ '{print $3}'
This tells awk to use / as the field-seperator and print the 3rd field.
Assuming that the path resulting from the grep is always an absolute path:
second_component=$(find .... -type d -name dev-env 2>&1 | grep -v 'Permiso' | cut -d / -f 3)
However, your approach suffers from several other problems:
You use /home/* as starting point for find. This will work only, if there is exactly one subdirectory below /home. Not a very likely scenario.
Even then, it works only if grep results in exactly one line. This is a semantic problem: What if you get more than one line - which one are you interested in? Assume that you know that you are always interested into the first line, you can solve this by piping the result though head -n 1.
Next, you redirect the stderr from find to stdout, which means that any error from find remains unnoticed; you just get some weird result. It would be better to have any error message from find being displayed, and instead evaluate the exit code from find and grep.
... | cut -d/ -f3

grepping output of ps, exclude the word grep [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
More elegant "ps aux | grep -v grep"
(9 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm using ps to find the pid of a process created to execute the command "sleep 1234 &"
I grep the result to match only "sleep 1234".
ps -A -f | grep "sleep 1234"
however, this matches also the command "grep sleep 1234" itself, returning two lines instead of one. How do I write a pattern for grep to exclude the word 'grep' itself?
Thanks
This is a pretty common problem and the easiest solution is to just surround a character in the grep'ed pattern with square brackets:
ps -A -f | grep "[s]leep 1234"
This will now match sleep 1234, but not [s]leep 1234 (because of the literal ] between s and l), and the grep line no longer matches.
The reason that the grep is in the process list is that pipelines are executed from right to left, so the grep is actually executed prior to the ps.

Find line number in a text file - without opening the file

In a very large file I need to find the position (line number) of a string, then extract the 2 lines above and below that string.
To do this right now - I launch vi, find the string, note it's line number, exit vi, then use sed to extract the lines surrounding that string.
Is there a way to streamline this process... ideally without having to run vi at all.
Maybe using grep like this:
grep -n -2 your_searched_for_string your_large_text_file
Will give you almost what you expect
-n : tells grep to print the line number
-2 : print 2 additional lines (and the wanted string, of course)
You can do
grep -C 2 yourSearch yourFile
To send it in a file, do
grep -C 2 yourSearch yourFile > result.txt
Use grep -n string file to find the line number without opening the file.
you can use cat -n to display the line numbers and then use awk to get the line number after a grep in order to extract line number:
cat -n FILE | grep WORD | awk '{print $1;}'
although grep already does what you mention if you give -C 2 (above/below 2 lines):
grep -C 2 WORD FILE
You can do it with grep -A and -B options, like this:
grep -B 2 -A 2 "searchstring" | sed 3d
grep will find the line and show two lines of context before and after, later remove the third one with sed.
If you want to automate this, simple you can do a Shell Script. You may try the following:
#!/bin/bash
VAL="your_search_keyword"
NUM1=`grep -n "$VAL" file.txt | cut -f1 -d ':'`
echo $NUM1 #show the line number of the matched keyword
MYNUMUP=$["NUM1"-1] #get above keyword
MYNUMDOWN=$["NUM1"+1] #get below keyword
sed -n "$MYNUMUP"p file.txt #display above keyword
sed -n "$MYNUMDOWN"p file.txt #display below keyword
The plus point of the script is you can change the keyword in VAL variable as you like and execute to get the needed output.

No line breaks with "cat" [duplicate]

Capturing multiple line output into a Bash variable
(7 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
This code should read from wget2.html and output the links found. But it gives me output without line breaks.
How can I force cat to add line breaks?
chksitename=$(cat wget2.html | grep -e "$sitename" | sed -e "s/^.*\("$sitename".*jpg\).*$/\1/g" | sort | uniq)
echo $chksitename
The problem is not in the cat line but in the echo line. To get the line breaks, you need to use:
echo "$chksitename"
See also Capturing Multiple Line Output to a Bash Variable.
I think you can replace your cat/grep/sed with one sed:
sed -e -n "/$sitename/ s#^.*\("$sitename".*jpg\).*$#\1#pg" wget.html
And you can replace sort | uniq to sort -u.
You could try:
echo $chksitename | tr ' ' '\n'
