Help Shell script

Depending on all the other lines in the file, you can do the following

awk -F: '{print $2}' filename

Select allOpen in new window

That will print the 2nd field using : as a delimiter of each line in filename.

Really depends on what else is in the file you are parsing.

Hi Papertrip

Thanks for your reply, but this is not file.

It's the result of the command.

eg: /usr/lib/result.sh, then I got the "no of customer": 3

But I need a shell script for retrieving "3" from the result.

Thanks

The result from command will be:

{
 "no of customer": 3
}

try this

grep "no of customer" filename | awk -F: '{ print $2 }'

#!/bin/bash

/usr/lib/result.sh | grep '^\"' | awk -F ': ' '{print $2}'

Select allOpen in new window

thanks Papertrip

the output is: [space]3  

there is a whitespace before 3, is it able to remove the space?

Thanks

Yep use my last syntax at http:#37074470

I overlooked the space in my first answer.

[root@broken ~]# cat asdf
"blah": a
"blah": b
[root@broken ~]# grep '^"' asdf |awk -F': ' '{print $2}'
a
b
[root@broken ~]#

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks it works fine now.

Regards

perfect, thanks
