cutting path of text files path

malayo · 05-04-2014, 01:50 AM

6th depth changes (output of "find /mnt/zarchive/hsm/0/ -name *.msg > /mnt/zarchive/listMsgHsm.txt") from a zimbra HSM folder

when I tried running on a path e.g.: cut -d "/" -f 5 /mnt/zarchive/hsm/0/10/msg/0/269-322.msg

It outputs whole text in 269-322.msg

how do I to only get "10" (mailbox ID), 5th if using "/" as delimeter for cut?

The reason is 'cut' works on an input stream or file:

Code:

 ~]$ echo '/mnt/zarchive/hsm/0/10/msg/0/269-322.msg' | cut -d "/" -f 6
10

~]$ grep "/mnt/zarchive/hsm/0/10/msg/0/269-322.msg" /mnt/zarchive/listMsgHsm.txt | cut -d "/" -f 6
10
