[SOLVED] Data output format issue awk or cut?

[deswoodau]

Hi,

I'm writing a bash script which is designed to monitor WebSphere Queues.

I've got it working in principle. However dependent on the length of text the queue name is, I get varied output which has become an issue because the "cut" and "awk" rule varies for different queue outputs.

EG on the two lines of output I'm getting:

que_dep= TYPE(QUEUE) CURDEPTH(0)
que_dep= CURDEPTH(0) IPPROCS(0)

Can anyone suggest how I can possibly "cut" or "awk" the "CURDEPTH(0)" value ONLY from these lines?

Thanks

egrep might help

egrep -o "CURDEPTH\([0-9]{1,1}\)" logfile

Adjust the regex to the possible values of curdepth

Thanks! That works well.
