Hi
I need some logic to work out a value for me - this value is _always_ the 3rd last field in a string seperated by '.' but the string could be 5 or 6 fields long, e.g
foo.bar.VALUE.baz.lala
foor.bar.gigi.VALUE.baz.lala
I need to find VALUE - if this were python or something i could do it but this has to be in shell -
awk -F. {'print $3'} awk -F. {'print $5'} awk -F. {'print $6'}
