retrievin a certain piece of text


i want a command that will get the port number without spaces and put it into a variable string so i can use it in another script is there a command that will grab the port number say look through the file and grab what ever is between port and +set

but also remove the space from front and end of it



./mohaa_lnxded +ip 217.146.92.89 +set net_port 14200 +set sv_maxclients 12 +set fs_basepath ./ +set fs_outputpath ./logs +set com_zoneMegs 30 +set vm_game 0 +set ttycon 0 +set dedicated 1 +set developer 2 +set logfile 3 +set g_logsync 1 +set chat 1 +set chatter 1 +exec server.cfg

sorry for asking so many questions but i love linux now and want to learn fast

thanks in advance

sed -e 's@\(.*port \([0-9]*\) +.*\)@\2@g' filename

Code:
sed -e 's@\(.*port \([0-9]*\) +.*\)@\2@g' filename
that actually diplays the whole file but on the line with port all it displays is the port example below

#! /bin/bash

function savelog
{
echo saving log
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
LOGSAVE=qconsole-$DATE.log

# ensure file does not exist
while [ -e $LOGSAVE ]; do
DATE=$DATE1
LOGSAVE=qconsole-$DATE.log
done
echo moving $LOGDIR/qconsole.log to $LOGDIR/$LOGSAVE
mv $LOGDIR/qconsole.log $LOGDIR/$LOGSAVE
}

LOGDIR=logs/main

touch loop

if [ -e $LOGDIR/qconsole.log ]; then
savelog;
fi

while [ -e loop ]; do

14200

savelog
done

so as you can see it got rid of the info around it but how can i get rid of rest and just keep that number

Not sure what your problem is, here it does exactly that.
Code:
$ cat blah.txt
./mohaa_lnxded +ip 217.146.92.89 +set net_port 14200 +set sv_maxclients 12 +set fs_basepath ./ +set fs_outputpath ./logs +set com_zoneMegs 30 +set vm_game 0 +set ttycon 0 +set dedicated 1 +set developer 2 +set logfile 3 +set g_logsync 1 +set chat 1 +set chatter 1 +exec server.cfg
./mohaa_lnxded +ip 217.146.92.89 +set net_port 1200 +set sv_maxclients 12 +set fs_basepath ./ +set fs_outputpath ./logs +set com_zoneMegs 30 +set vm_game 0 +set ttycon 0 +set dedicated 1 +set developer 2 +set logfile 3 +set g_logsync 1 +set chat 1 +set chatter 1 +exec server.cfg
./mohaa_lnxded +ip 217.146.92.89 +set net_port 4200 +set sv_maxclients 12 +set fs_basepath ./ +set fs_outputpath ./logs +set com_zoneMegs 30 +set vm_game 0 +set ttycon 0 +set dedicated 1 +set developer 2 +set logfile 3 +set g_logsync 1 +set chat 1 +set chatter 1 +exec server.cfg
Code:
$ sed -e 's@\(.*port \([0-9]*\) +.*\)@\2@g' blah.txt 
14200
1200
4200

[edit]
Oic ... you mean there's lines in the file that don't have
any "port" in them, and those then would be displayed.

To fix that just do
Code:
awk '/port/' filename | sed -e 's@\(.*port \([0-9]*\) +.*\)@\2@g'
[/edit]



Cheers,
Tink
