translating by lujun9972 How to extract substring in Bash
A substring is nothing but a string is a string that occurs “in”. For example “3382” is a substring of “this is a 3382 test”. One can extract the digits or given string using various methods.
This quick tutorial shows how to obtain or finds substring when using bash shell.
Extract substring in Bash
The syntax is: ## syntax ## ${parameter:offset:length} The substring expansion is a bash feature. It expands to up to length characters of the value of parameter starting at the character specified by offset. For example, $u defined as follows:
|
## define var named u ##
u="this is a test"
|
The following substring parameter expansion performs substring extraction:
|
var="${u:10:4}"
echo "${var}"
|
Sample outputs:
test
-
10 : The offset
-
4 : The length
Using IFS
From the bash man page:
The Internal Field Separator that is used for word splitting after expansion and to split lines into words with the read builtin command. The default value is .
Another POSIX ready solution is as follows:
|
u="this is a test"
set -- $u
echo "$1"
echo "$2"
echo "$3"
echo "$4"
|
Sample outputs:
this
is
a
test

Say hello to cut command
One can remove sections from each line of file or variable using the cut command. The syntax is:
|
u="this is a test"
echo "$u" | cut -d' ' -f 4
echo "$u" | cut --delimiter=' ' --fields=4
##########################################
## WHERE
## -d' ' : Use a whitespace as delimiter
## -f 4 : Select only 4th field
##########################################
var="$(cut -d' ' -f 4 <<< $u)"
echo "${var}"
|
For more info read bash man page: man bash man cut See also: Bash String Comparison: Find Out IF a Variable Contains a Substring
