Hey guys, Looking through my book and the web and I am not having any success returning data from a search.
I need to have awk search for a string and print the first field which is no problem but now its returning two options as the input data has changed. The change is reliable, I only want the first field if it ends in a regex that I have, and I only want what that regex matches to be printed. Is it possible to do this in a one liner so I don't need to construct an awk script?
I suppose I could pipe it into grep and cut but that's not very sexy :)
Any ideas?
Thanks! jlc
