Question

I use curl I want to get a certain phrase of it, the problem is that the entire file (that I am displaying using curl) consists of only 1 line.
The phrase I want to extract form this file begins always with {"name":"headline","link":
and it always ends with }}.

So the question is if there is any method to tell grep that it should display all the phrases which begin with {"name":"headline","link": until they end with the next }}?

curl http://example.org/file.txt | grep ?

BTW:

curl http://example.org/file.txt | grep "\{\"name\"\:\"headline\"\,\"link\"\:\"http\:\/\/"

Display the entire text file because it’s just a one liner.

Answer 1

This will do

grep -o -E '"name":"Rausschmeisser","link":"[^"]+"'

This will give you a complete list of urls

egrep -o '"name":"Rausschmeisser","link":"[^"]+' | cut -f8- -d\"
