Can grep show only words that match search pattern?
(15 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a bash file that has below line along with other lines.
var BUILD_VERSION = '2014.17.10_23';
I just want to extract 2014.17.10_23 and this value may change so something like grep for 2014* . However when I do that I get the whole line returned instead of the value 2014.17.10_23.
What would be the best way to achieve this?
Thanks
Using awk:
awk -F= '/BUILD_VERSION/{print $2}' input | tr -d "[' ;]"
And with sed:
sed -n "/BUILD_VERSION/s/.*'\([^']*\)'.*/\1/p" input
grep 'BUILD_VERSION' <your file> | sed -e 's/var BUILD_VERSION = //g'
Would get you '2014.17.10_23'; tweak the sed expression (or pipe it through a few more) to get rid of quotes.
It would be a 1 liner regex in Perl...
Here is another awk solution:
awk -F' = ' '/BUILD_VERSION/ {gsub(/\x27|;/,""); print $NF}'
You can use this awk
awk -F\' '/BUILD_VERSION/ {print $2}' file
2014.17.10_23

How can I send to grep the search patterns through xargs after using awk?
awk -F”:” '($5 < 400) {print $1}' file1.txt | xargs grep file2.txt
The output I’m getting is this one:
No such file or directory
Thank you for your help.
Hi you can use the following command to pass the awk results as arguments for grep to search them in the second file
awk -F: '($5 < 400) {print $1}' file1.txt | xargs -I {} -0 grep "{}" file2.txt
Let me know if this help you Best regards

How to use sed/grep to extract text between two words?
(14 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
how to print text between two specific words using awk, sed ?
$ ofed_info | awk '/MLNX_OFED_LINUX/{print}'
MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.1-1.0.2.0 (OFED-4.1-1.0.2):
$
Output required:-
4.1-1.0.2.0
Following awk may help you here.(considering that your input to awk will be same as shown sample only)
your_command | awk '{sub(/[^-]*/,"");sub(/ .*/,"");sub(/-/,"");print}'
Solution 2nd: With sed solution now.
your_command | sed 's/\([^-]*\)-\([^ ]*\).*/\2/'
Solution 3rd: Using awk's match utility:
your_command | awk 'match($0,/[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\-[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+/){print substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)}'
You may use this sed:
echo 'MLNX_OFED_LINUX-4.1-1.0.2.0 (OFED-4.1-1.0.2):' |
sed -E 's/^[^-]*-| .*//g'
4.1-1.0.2.0
This sed command removes text till first hyphen from start or text starting with space towards end.
Try this:
ofed_info | sed -n 's/^MLNX_OFED_LINUX-\([^ ]\+\).*/\1/p'
The sed command only selects lines starting with the keyword and prints the version attached to it.

I have an output that looks as below
- 0.1-1
- 0.1-2
- 0.1-3
- 0.1-6
- 0.1-7
- 0.1-9
How to use grep or something else so as to remove "-" and a space from the beginning.
0.1-1
0.1-2
0.1-3
0.1-6
0.1-7
0.1-9
With sed:
sed -e 's/^- //' input.txt
Or with GNU grep:
grep -oP '^- \K.*' input.txt
You may use grep also,
grep -oE '[0-9].*' file
With awk:
awk '{print $2}' file
You can use cut to remove the first two columns of every line:
cut -c3- input.txt

Pipe your grep -n output, which normally looks something like:
11: stuff that matched
43: more stuff that matched
through sed to strip out the matching parts:
grep -n pattern file | sed -e 's/:.*//g'
11
43
grep -n or --line-number option will do this for you. You can find this information in the grep help file, which you can find by using grep --help or grep --help | less to read it more carefully. Also consider using the manual page: man grep
You could use awk too.
grep -n word file | awk -F: '{ print $1 }'
As #Barmar pointed out you could just use an awk one-liner as such:
awk '/regex/ { print NR }' file
Since you don't have awk you could also use cut:
grep -n word file | cut -d: -f1

sed unknown option to `s' in bash script [duplicate]
(4 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am trying
grep searchterm myfile.csv | sed 's/replaceme/withthis/g'
and getting
unknown option to `s'
What am I doing wrong?
Edit:
As per the comments the code is actually correct. My full code resembled something like the following
grep searchterm myfile.csv | sed 's/replaceme/withthis/g'
# my comment
And it appears that for some reason my comment was being fed as input into sed. Very strange.
use the --expression option
grep searchterm myfile.csv | sed --expression='s/replaceme/withthis/g'
use "-e" to specify the sed-expression
cat input.txt | sed -e 's/foo/bar/g'
To make sed catch from stdin , instead of from a file, you should use -e.
Like this:
curl -k -u admin:admin https://$HOSTNAME:9070/api/tm/3.8/status/$HOSTNAME/statistics/traffic_ips/trafc_ip/ | sed -e 's/["{}]//g' |sed -e 's/[]]//g' |sed -e 's/[\[]//g' |awk 'BEGIN{FS=":"} {print $4}'
If you are trying to do an in-place update of text within a file, this is much easier to reason about in my mind.
grep -Rl text_to_find directory_to_search 2>/dev/null | while read line; do sed -i 's/text_to_find/replacement_text/g' $line; done
Open the file using vi myfile.csv
Press Escape
Type :%s/replaceme/withthis/
Type :wq and press Enter
Now you will have the new pattern in your file.
