How to get a part of string which follows a particular pattern using shell script

[Hari]

Hi all,

I need to get a part of string which follows a pattern 'addr='
For example:
a)test="192.168.1.17:/home/ankur/nios_fson/mnt/tmptype
nfs(rw,addr=192.168.1.17)"
b)test="/dev/root on / typr nfs
(rw,v2,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,hard,udp,nolock,addr= 192.168.1.93)"
I need to get the ipaddress from the above two strings a and b which
follows 'addr='. I tried to use cut, but it accepts only single charter

as delimiter. If I give delimiter as 'addr=' for cut command it gives
me a error.
So please help me.
A bunch of thanks in advance.
Regards,
P.R.Hariram

Regular Expressions are probably the easiest way to do this. Example:

import re

str = """a)test="192.168.1.17:/home/ankur/nios_fson/mnt/tmptype
nfs(rw,addr=192.168.1.17)"
b)test="/dev/root on / typr nfs
(rw,v2,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,hard,udp,nolock,addr= 192.168.1.93)"""

m = re.search("addr=(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)", str)
print m.group(1)

-> Prints: 192.168.1.17

Read the Python manual on Regular Expressions (module re) or google for
Python regular expression tutorials if your search is more complex than
this (or if you want to know what's going on). If you want a good
in-depth text on the subject, I'd recommend J. Friedls "Mastering
Regular Expressions."

Have fun.

This is the third problem today which I propose to solve with my stream
editor SE. If the group thinks it could be useful I would submit it the
moment I'm done with the doc, which is in the final stage.

Frederic

se = SE.SE ('<EAT> ~addr=[0-9.]+~==(10) | addr\== ')
string = """(a)test="192.168.1.17:/home/ankur/nios_fson/mnt/tmptype nfs(rw,addr=192.168.1.17)"
b)test="/dev/root on / typr nfs
(rw,v2,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,hard,udp,nolock,addr= 192.168.1.93)")""") print se (string)

192.168.1.17
192.168.1.93

You keep saying that and getting no response, so I'll take a stab at telling
you why. I take it that when you say 'propose it to the group' and 'submit
it for distribution', you mean include it in the standard library.

My impression (and fervent hope) is that nobody's gonna throw a new,
unfamiliar module straight into the standard library. Put it up somewhere
like the cheese shop and let people kick the tires for a few months/years.
Then if it solves a real need, works well, is sufficiently general, and
isn't handled better by another module, it might be eligible for
consideration for inclusion in the standard library. New modules aren't
just thrown in there willy-nilly.
