strings

Penny Patch — Fri, 21 Nov 2003 13:08:38 GMT

These are my strings
version="5.9"
version="5.8"
version="5.7"
verison="5.6"
verison="5.5.1"

I always want to ignore the first number i.e "5" and print the rest of it without the digits and without the double quotes.
How do I do that?
Thanks.

Hi,

assign a line to s$ and use
expr s$ : 'version=\"5$.*$\"'

if you want to read a file.
while read s
do
expr s$ : 'version=\"5$.*$\"'
done < file

greetings,

Michael

Thanks for your replies.
But these strings are not in the file. This will the output of uname -r command
#uname -r
5.9
#uname -r
5.5.1
.
.
.

Sorry for the confusion.

Well,
Also this case it is resolved with command awk.
uname -r | awk '{print substr($0,3)}'

You could also try:

# uname -r | awk -F 5. '{print $2}'
