awk split command to get the desired result

Shell Programming and Scripting

Dear all,
I am using the awk 'split' command to get the particular value.

FILE=InputFile_009_0.txt               
Temp=$(echo $FILE | awk '{split($FILE, a, "e_"); print a[2]}')

I would like to have the Temp take the value as : _009_0

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
emily

Hello emily,

You could try following command and let us know if this helps.

echo $FILE | awk '{match($0,/\_.*\_/);print substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH+1)}'

Thanks,

How about:

filenoext=${FILE%.*}
Temp=${filenoext#InputFile}

--
with awk:

echo "$FILE" | awk '{split($0, F, /InputFile|\./); print F[2]}'

or

echo "$FILE" | awk -F 'InputFile|[.]' '{print $2}'
