If you could give us sample input and output, that would be great.

Sample Input:
[Source<25101>=sr2][Source
[Source<25101>=sr3][OrderI

Amazing. Thanks.
Nice work, wesley.
radix, mine could be written better as:
perl -pe 's/^.+<25101>=(.+?)].+/$1/

you might want to check radix first question, it is very challenging in shell script but easier in Perl.

Thanks wesly,
Yes, I had seen that question, and was ignoring it because:
1. He hadn't responded to your request for more data yet.
2. I don't know if I have time.

In getting the index, what are you trying to achieve? Are you wanting to return the whole line starting from "<25101>="? If so, there are probably better ways.
