Well... I mean, by code, no thats just confusing. You will have to program something, so pick your language and run with it. I would say for "ease" of use, sed/awk as they can be command line driven, grep I believe just is or was a specific command set in ed, now perhaps sed, that I may be mistaken on.... but in all ways you will have to program something, even a bash script, if you want it to run more then once. Honestly if you haven't done sed/awk programing before, and know a bit of perl... do it in perl, if you know a bit of python, do it in python, if you know sed or awk, use sed or awk... but in all forms programing will have to take place. ~Ben On Jan 18, 2008 8:51 AM, Grant M. <[hidden email]> wrote: > Mark Woodward wrote: > > So, if I have file with a lot of lines that look like this: > > > > Title: The Long and Winding Road [ISBN:123456] > > Descr: A boring book about boring roads > > Author: A dull cab driver > > How about this: > # cat books.txt | grep '^Title\: ' | sed 's/.*\[//' | sed 's/\]//' > > redirect that to an output file using " > isbns.txt" and you have your > ISBN numbers.
