Awk script to get the version info from a Gradle command?

I have a Gradle task that prints out the artifact version, like this

$ ./gradlew :myproject:printVersion
:myproject:printVersion
2.0

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 0.976 secs

What's an awk or shell task to get the 2.0 part that I can use in a Jenkins pipeline? Note currently the artifact version is 2.0, but can change later to, say, 2.1, or 3.0 etc.

$ ./gradlew :myproject:printVersion | some_awk_code
Solution

  • I suggest to replace some_awk_code with awk 'NR==2' or sed '2!d' to get only second row.
