Question

I have the following XML output when I grep for “Server”:

<Server id="1" src="/other/Server/PRX01/PRX01.xml"/>
<Server id="2" src="/other/Server/PRX01/PRX02.xml"/>
<Server id="3" src="/other/Server/PRX01/PRX03.xml"/>
<Server id="4" src="/other/Server/PRX01/PRX04.xml"/>

I need to be able to take this output and sed/awk or some other tool, and just get the filename, without the path or extension. So my output would need to be (for this example):

PRX01
PRX02
PRX03
PRX04

Answer 1

simple to do with awk and sed, assuming the data is in the file “test.data”:

cat test.data | awk 'BEGIN{FS="/"}{print $5}'  | sed 's/\..*//g'
