Its not for anything in particular. I read that you can take a word out of a string in a file using awk and the $ operator.I was just wondering if you had a word or sentence in a file like "voltage=12V" how would you get the 12V from it? As in if the 12V could not be distinguished by the "$" operator

As kewp said: it's about regular expressions, plus maybe
the various separators awk knows about. $, btw, is not an
operator, it's a field denominator.
In this case something like
awk -F= '{print $2}'
will do.
