Parse file by splitting string in file and get desired output using single command

I'm using bash to look into file and parse the results. Can someone tell me how to use cut/awk to split the string and get desired output by using single command? I can get through individual cut and get the below output (with 2 commands and concatenation) but i want to do using single command instead of two commands.

test.log:

1/98 | (PASSED) com.yahoo.qa.java.projects.stackoverview.questions.Password_01() | 21:20:20

Tried code:

str1=`cat test.log | tail -1 | cut -d '|' -f 1`
str2=`cat test.log | tail -1 | cut -d '|' -f 2 | sed -e 's/com.yahoo.qa.java.projects./''/g'`
str3="${str1} | ${str2}"

Expected:

1/98 | (PASSED) stackoverview.questions.Password_01
Solution

  • Following single awk may help you in same.

    awk 'END{sub(/com\.yahoo\.qa\.java\.projects\./,"",$4);print $1,$2,$3,$4}'  Input_file

    OR for all kind of awks following may help you in same too.(As per SIR ED's suggestions):

    awk '{value=$0} END{split(value, a," ");sub(/com.yahoo.qa.java.projects\./,"",a[4]);print a[1],a[2],a[3],a[4]}'  Input_file
