I thought he only wanted the next field after the 'PRIV:" text which is
why I put the perl solution up. Perl has minimal regexp matches which
is why I used it rather than awk/sed solutions. There are certainly
ways to do the matching in sed/awk pipelines, but I'm more at ease
with perl so that's what I wrote it in.
e.g.:
sed '/PRIV:/s/^.*PRIV: //' datafile | awk '{print $2}'
Cheers,
