Hi:
I need search a specified string in a file, after the word
"mounting" , like this:

solaris> cat file
netbackup, orac_ux001 backup, streaming yes, multiplexing ok ,
mounting M00541 police enabled, data file

Which awk command can I issue to extract only the "M00541" string
inside a file ?

Thanks

Why not use grep ?

grep -i mounting file ???????


This will extract all instances' of mounting and its associated line.

He doesn't want the line or the word itself, he wants just the word
following it the word he's searching for.

For the OP - This will work for the sample input you posted:

awk '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) if ($i == "mounting") print $(i+1)}' file

but what would you want to have happen if "mounting" was the last word
on a line?

Could this statement be useful?

expr "`grep mounting file`" : 'mounting *\(\w*\)'

Kind regards.

Is there any way to limit the substring founded in 6 characters ?
I´m getting this:

M00541,05/28/07

Thank you !

print substr($(i+1),1,6)
sub(/,.*/,"",$(i+1)); print $(i+1)

You wouldn't get that with your explanation and with the example data
you gave above. To limit the string to six characters replace/extend
the print command by

print substr($(i+1),1,6)

If you posted an accurate example, I suspect there's an even simpler
solution.

How could I substitute string "mounting" for "media id" in this
script ?

Post some real sample input and expected output or we can't give you
anything better than a guess.

Is your input file really split such that "media id" occurs on it's own
on the line after "to" and before the line that starts with "DAY128"?
The solutions will be pretty different based on whether or not what
we're seeing is caused by line-wrapping of your posting.
