You can sum up the previous pipes into: echo disk = [ file:/path/to/file,sda1,w ] | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "[:,]" } { print $2 }' > The point is if i have more than one `disk` argument, i'll have to > find a way to identify each of them... But lets keep some work for > tomorrow :) I think your program should be as simple as: <code> #!/usr/bin/awk -f BEGIN { FS = "[:,]" } /disk *=/ { print $2 } </code> Put this in myprog.awk, and chmod +x it, and run ./myprog.awk <configfile>.
