Issue
I have a log file which contains a number of error lines, such as:
Failed to add [email protected] to database
I can filter these lines with a single grep call:
grep -E 'Failed to add (.*) to database'
This works fine, but what I'd really like to do is have grep (or another Unix command I pass the output into) only output the email address part of the matched line.
Is this possible?
Solution
You can use sed:
grep -E 'Failed to add (.*) to database'| sed 's/'Failed to add \(.*\) to database'/\1'
