hi alla i have this this file and i want to print the word "staffline" or any word in this brace "ctr{word}"
always ctr and brace and any word im want to print this word bye use substr function in awk

i try:
awk '{comp[substr["ctr",0]{print}}'

oh my god how

Search for the pattern /ctr{StaffLine}/. If the line contains this, then print it (not the line but the pattern).

If this is what you want, in the selected line, find out where the string sarts and THEN use substr.

OK

1. Don't double-post. Post your question only in one place.
2. Why are you insisting on the substr() function? A usually approach is find the best tool for the job, not do everything with one tool. As I posted in your other thread, sed might work better in this particular case.
