Getting substring of String

[hirav]

Hi all,

I am new to linux scripting, I want normal substring of a string that actually is a url as follows

SITEURL/main.php?page=122&type=download_file&fileID=9&user Id=user1&org=org1&mainmenu=main1&submenu=sub1

What I want is a substring like below

org1_user1_main1_sub1

Please help me solve the problem

Thanks in advance

Which programming language do you use? C/C++? Python? Bourne Shell? C Shell? Perl? PHP?

Thnx for you quick response.
I have to use linux shell script.

So I assume you use Bourne/Bash scripting language.
I suggest you to learn one thing or two about string manipulation in shell scripts. You may find good resources about this topic a lot, but here is one: Advanced Bash Shell Scripting Guide - Manipulating Strings
This tutorial uses expr for performing regexp operations but you can also use tools like grep or sed

Thnx for you help ..

If you can mention some code.. it can help a lot

THanks again..

s="SITEURL/main.php?page=122&type=download_file&fileID=9&user_Id=user1&org=org1&mainmenu=main1&submenu=sub1"
echo $s | awk -F "&" '{print $4}' | awk -F "=" '{print $2}'

This outputs user1. You can loop through the second line to get the next fields, store in variables and concatenate at will.
