hi
I am completely new in bash script. Here is my question. I have text file which contains list of ips and status code. I want to extract for example the ip with most successful response. How can i do it?
Thanks to all

Can you post a sample of your text file, and what the criteria is for "most successful response"?

Don't use thread titles like "urgent" or "help". They aren't urgent for anyone but you, and they don't give any clue about the topic of the thread, so many people will simply ignore them. Clearly stating the problem or request in the title will give you better responses.


Now, please define your problem in more detail. What does this text file look like? How would we determine the "most successful response"? What should the output look like?

Have you done any work so far? Have you done any searches of the site or the web for similar cases?

Probably it will only require a simple grep/sed/awk command to extract the text, and perhaps some formatting/processing for the output. But the proper solution to use depends on the format of the input. So you have to give us that first.

Here are a few useful bash scripting references to get you started:

Sounds very much like homework to me...as David and thesnow asked, post samples of the text file, and show what work you've done thus far, and we'll be glad to help.
