I have this output from a find command:
abc,10.11.13.14,def,1.2.3.4,geh,6.7.54.23
where abc,def and geh are device names and could be of any length and others are IP address belong to devices. Likeabc,10.11.13.14
for device abc
. IP shall be next to comma delimiter.
How can I use sed, grep or awk to print the associated IP when I grep for a device name? In short I want the IP to be displayed next to device name.
Best Answer
I am more comfortable with awk, so I would like to present two solutions in awk.
Solution 1
In this case, I am looking for a machine name "def", if found, print the next column.
Solution 2
In this solution, I use the
tr
command to convert commas to new line, search for "def" and print the line that follows. I hope these solutions work for you.
