Hello everyone,
I need to process files formed by Linux function redirects. Basically, I have a function, and I redirect the output to a text file. The problem is that the results appear in tabular form and I only need one column of the table.
Are there any commands that could help in the console so that I can redirect only the column(s) I’m interested in? or perhaps a command that would process the target file?
Thanks in advance for any answers or leads you can give.
ps: an example of part of a file I have to process (normally the columns are aligned):
total used free
Mem: 1010 666 343
Swap: 1983 0 1983
Configuration: Windows 2000 Firefox 2.0.0.2
