Grep parsing issue
 

i'm trying to extract ip's and port numbers from a html file but the task ended up being more complicated the what i had expected, here is a sample from file:

<td class=xl27 x:num="38178">2004-7-10</td>
<td height=19 class=xl25 style='height:14.25pt'>80.110.116.179</td>
<td class=xl25>5561</td>


i need to isolate "80.110.116.179" as well as "5561" ( 0-65535) and place it on the same line ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx pN). I tought about using awk with "> <" delimiter without any luck, can't "cut" the output since some ip's are longer than others, grep '[0-9]\{3\}.[0-9]\{3\}. [0-9]\{3\}' turn out giving too many jusk data...there must be a simple way to accomplish this task that i am not seeing... any CLI wiz up for a challenge ?


thanks for your time

Using egrep, this reg exp will grep all lines with legal ip numbers only (0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255):

\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\b

Now you should be able to pipe it thru awk to cut it:

awk -F"[<>]" '{ print $3}'

This only works if the number of <'s and >'s in front of the ip number are the same for all the ip lines (and the closing < should be there, too).

Hope this gets you going again.

i get " Badly placed (. " error message from the command, ill try to
play with the syntax a little.. beside, i still haven't found a way to
display both ip's and port nunbers on the same line...hmm wonders

You don't show the command you tried, it should be something like this:

egrep 'expression' <file>

There should be single (or double) quotes around the expression.

Displaying 2 (or more) items on the same line can be done in various ways, here's just one:

- Fill 2 (or more) variables:
THIS="`grep 'foo' somefile | cut -d: -f2`"
THAT="`egrep 'bar' otherfile | awk '{ print $3}'`"

and print/echo these:
echo $THIS $THAT
