Nandini Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 hi i have file with the following data host=mail.gmail.com username=abc@gmail.com password=uuuuuuuuuuu peer_host=mail.peer.com this is the user submitted form from website. I want to send host value "mail.gmail.com" from file to the user. How can i grep that. I dont want to user substr function , because the above line order may changed after every refresh. So i want to search host by using regular expression. If match found i have to grep total line like "host=mail.gmail.com". After i have to use substr function to get host value. This is the requirement. Can any one tell me the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
