Need String filtration help. 1

[ranjank]

Hi,

I want to filter a string in my script.String is:

(cRanjan_abc_xyz@foo.com)

I want to print only cRanjan_abc.Can anyone give me some pointers regarding this.

Regards,
Ranjan.

Try

print $(expr $string : "\([^_]*_[^_]*\).*")

Although I'm sure the awk/sed gurus will have other answers

sed '/cRanjan_abc_xyz@foo.com/!d;s/_[^_]*$//'

Cheers,

The 'cut' command is underrated:

echo "cRanjan_abc_xyz@foo.com" | cut -d\@ -f1

Only thing is, _xyz part needs to be cut off.

So

echo $email|cut -d_ -f1-2

might do.


HTH,

Try this...

$ EMAILADDR=cRanjan_abc_xyz@foo.com
$ FIRSTPART=${EMAILADDR%_*}
$ print $FIRSTPART
