Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I have the following texts :

#1#http://www.google.com#2#Google#3#
#1#http://www.aol.com#2#AOL#3#

I need a bash script which extracts the text between the markers (marks are #1#,#2#,#3#).
I also need that text in variables ($URL and $DESCRIPT will be fine) so I can later use it to construct a SQL statement.

Thanks in advance.

write a bash:

for I in $*
do
echo $I
t=$I
t1=${t%%#2#*}
t1=${t1##*#1#}
t2=${t%%#3#*}
t2=${t2##*#2#}
echo $t1
echo $t2
done

call the shell like this:
./b.sh `cat tmp.txt | awk /#1#/`

or use: awk -F# '/#1#/{print $3,$5}' tmp.txt

awk 'BEGIN{FS="#"}
{url[$0]=$3;des[$0]=$5;}
END{
for (i in url)
printf("The URL for %s is: %s\n",des,url);
}
' filename
