Sed with = as delimiter

sedtext processing

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use sed to cut text before a certain delimiter.

I'm receiving output from echo that returns something similar to:

valueA=TEXT

I would like to have sed cut the text before = and leaving only TEXT.

Any tips on how it can be done?

You can also use cut :

cut -d= -f2- <<< "$yourvar"

some_command | cut -d= -f2-

-d= sets the delimiter to =
-f2- takes the second field and all the following ones

With awk:

awk -v l="$(wc -L <file)" '{printf "%"l"s\n", $0}' file

-v assigns an external value to an awk variable l.
- wc -L <file find the length of the longest line in the file.
printf "%"l"s\n", $0 prints each line space padded with by l spaces. For 10 spaces, it would for example look like: printf "%10s\n", $0.

The output:

   7241,11111111111111111111111111111111,\01-data\file1
1237241,22222222222222222222222222222222,\01-data\file2
     41,33333333333333333333333333333333,\01-data\file3
