Hi

I have file "test.txt"

i need to extract the data as below from this file.

/home/cvs/gkc ->awk -v RS= '{print $(NF-2),$(NF-1),$NF}' test.txt
Buildfile: build.xml Buildfile: build.xml
Created dir: /dist/advance/2.0.4/20060926-0413
awk: The field -1 must be in the range 0 to 199.

The input line number is 3. The file is test.txt.
The source line number is 1.

I am getting all of the above errors i need only the following /dist/advance/2.0.4/20060926-0413 from that file without any spaces.
so that i will be using this data in another command.

can some one correct the above...

I think you are looking for something like this:

grep /dist/advance/2.0.4/20060926-0413 test.txt | tr -d ' '

Output:
