I have a file with most of the lines formatted in this way:
testaccount:D#%G%^V&:MeMyselfandI:memyselfandi@somesite.com:11/242012:192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2,192.168.1.3,192.168.1.4,192.168.1.5
There are a few lines with:
testaccount2:D#%G%^V&:MeMyselfandI:memyselfandi@somesite.com:11/242012:192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2,192.168.1.3,192.168.1.4,192.168.1.5:reminder2012 $56.00
and
testaccount2:D#%G%^V&:MeMyselfandI:memyselfandi@somesite.com:11/242012:192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2,192.168.1.3,192.168.1.4,192.168.1.5:$56.00
using AWK I have a one-liner that excludes case sensitivity, uses the field delimeter ":" and searches for the account name and if there is any ip adress/ip adresses associated with the string:
cat wspasswd| awk -F ':' 'tolower($1) ~ /^testaccount2/ && /[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]/'
which print the whole sting correctly:
testaccount2:D#%G%^V&:MeMyselfandI:memyselfandi@somesite.com:11/242012:192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2,192.168.1.3,192.168.1.4,192.168.1.5:$56.00
That is fine but my question is, how can I have awk additionally, once it finds the account name and the ip adress/ip adresses to print out "only the ip adress/ip adresses"
using testaccount2 as an example
cat wspasswd| awk -F ':' 'tolower($1) ~ /^testaccount2/ && /[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]/ {print $(NF-1)}'
192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2,192.168.1.3,192.168.1.4,192.168.1.5
The above worked because the ip addess/ip address reside in the next to last field but what do I do if the field is in the last field. Is there a way I can tell AWK once it finds the account name and the ip adress/ip adresses to print out "only the ip adress/ip adresses" no matter where they are in the sting
