Very Computer

Hello all,

I realize this is probably a simple question, but I find the man on awk
pretty dismal. (Solaris 2.5).

Basically, how can I extract everything after of a specific keyword in a

string ? (any method will do)
I have:
...<string> ...=....<string>..val=<string>...

I want to extract everything after "val=" and assign it to a variable.

How can this be done ?  (The number of words before the "val=" may not
be consistant).

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

cut -d= -f2 test.txt does the trick

but this will remove the 'val=' also...
