Hello,<br />
<br />
I have text files that contain something like:<br />
&lt;word1&gt; &lt;word2&gt; &lt;word3&gt; &lt;word4&gt; ..... ID: &lt;VALUE&gt; &lt;word20&gt; &lt;word21&gt; &lt;word22&gt; ...<br />
<br />
and I need a command/bash script that reads the file, gets the value after the &quot;ID:&quot; word and save it in a variable. The number of words and their value is different in each file. However, in all files the value I want to get is next to the ID: word (separated with space).<br />
<br />
Anyone can help?<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Linux script to extract value from text file

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
