Question

Asking a question here is always my last resort. I tried everything even the most embarrassing code so i’m confused on explaining what i tried with no success. I have:

echo $output | grep -i -m 1 "Time:" | sed 's/.*\s\([0-9]*:[0-9]*:[0-9]*\).time.*/\1/'

it outputs:

23:25:31

Easy.

But i’d like to add one more string to the end, like ” , $year” – so that i have:

23:25:31 , 2013

The problem is that whatever i tried (printf, -n, -e, -ne, brackets, quotes, |, ;, &, /r, etc.) gives an error or goes to a new line anyway.

Any suggestion will be really appreciated.

Thanks

time=$(echo $output | grep -i -m 1 "Time:" | sed 's/.*\s\([0-9]*:[0-9]*:[0-9]*\).time.*/\1/')
echo "The time is ${time}, 2013"
