Question

input string

prashant@prashant:~/Desktop$ xyz /123/ {print } abc.txt

after using awk command to strip on above input string I should get below

output string

xyz /123/ {print } abc.txt

Answer 1

Try:

awk -F'$' '{print $2}' <<<"$str"

or if you don't want a space from the beginning try:

awk -F'xyz' '{print FS $2}' <<<"$str"

where the input string is stored in str variable as following:

str="prashant@prashant:~/Desktop$ xyz /123/ {print } abc.txt"

Explanation;

• The -F'$' defines the Field Separator to $
• The print $2 prints the second filed $2 with $ as field separator between them.
• The FS in second command will prints the entry of Field Separator which is defined to xyz.
