Hi All,
Can someone please lend me a hand to parse the following text into a
usable format.
I am grepping a web page for a numeric figure that appears only on one
line using the following
#lynx -source http://172.19.100.127/eng/main.htm|grep sVal\\[7\\]
This produces the following output
#sVal[7] = "2016";
I want to be able to extract only the numeric figure so it can be used
in a expr sum.
the figure can be anywhere from 0 to several million.
I am using the following but need the last 2 characters to allways be removed.
# lynx -source http://172.19.100.127/eng/main.htm|grep
sVal\\[7\\] | cut -c 12-20
# 2016";
What is the best way? I tried using a delimeter of " but can not seem
to get it to work #
#lynx -source http://172.19.100.127/eng/main.htm|grep
sVal\\[7\\]|cut -d, -f"
Thanks
Paul
