Re^2: Cutting last word from a output line

Hi Experts, First of all i want thank all and i am glad to be a part this forum. Thanks for the very quick response. My query is slightly different [not echoing a line , a command instead], sorry i posted slightly different. my requirement is like below. When i give a command like below ,

 sysname =`snmpwalk.pl -c $string -t 100                              
+                                                           -r 2  $ipa
+ddress sysName |awk '{print $NF}'
[download]

I get a output like below.

sysName.0 : OCTET STRING- (ascii): USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net
[download]

in that i want last word that is "USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net" to be assigned to a variable.

Replace \w (word character) with \S (non-whitespace) in the regular expression and it should work. my ($variable) = `your command` =~ /(\S+)$/; [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I continue taking your specs literally. I assume that you: can't modify snmpwalk.pl want to set an environment variable So i jumped to the conclusion, that you need something like this: `karls-mac-mini:monks karl$ sysname=$(./snmpwalk.pl \| perl -ae 'print p +op @F') karls-mac-mini:monks karl$ echo $sysname USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net` [download] See also I know what I mean. Why don't you?. ~~BTW, if you are on Windows, where does your `awk` come from? Cygwin? Or do you expect a port to PowerShell?~~ Edit: Strucked out useless/annoying comment.

Thanks Karl, I just gave an example how i was achieving in unix shell. Ok i will try to re-phrase the question. I am expecting like below. Assume below is an system command: "snmpwalk.ovpl -c $string $IP sysName" here windows system command "snmpwalk.ovpl -c $string $IP sysName" will give me output like below. sysName.0 : OCTET STRING- (ascii): USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net So as said earlier i am expecting something like below.: my $variable = `system (sysName.0 : OCTET STRING- (ascii): USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net) \| cut last word` expected $variable=USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net	[reply]

Thank you all, this is all i wanted to know :) ############################################### my $output = `nnmsnmpwalk.ovpl -u system -p manager123 -t 10 -c $Strin +g $IP sysName`; my $sysName = (split /\s/, $output)[-1]; print "system name is $sysName\n"; [download] THanks, Bharath	[reply] [d/l]
