I need help parsing this bit of text into the output shown below: Text: dump database abc123 to 'compress::0::/dbdumps/abc123_20100930_1251:00.dump1' stripe on 'compress::0::/dbdumps/abc123_20100930_1251:00.dump2' go dump database abc_def to 'compress::0::/dbdumps/abc_def_20100930_1251:00.dump1' go Here abc123 and abc_def are database names Dump files for database abc123 will be created in 2 stripes and will be saved as: dbdumps/abc123_20100930_1251:00.dump1 dbdumps/abc123_20100930_1251:00.dump2 The dump file for database abc_def will be saved as: abc123_20100930_1251:00.dump2' What I am trying to do is to create soft links as below abc123.dump1->abc123_20100930_1251:00.dump1 abc123.dump2->abc123_20100930_1251:00.dump2 abc_def.dump1->abc_def_20100930_1251:00.dump1 In the output the first word is the database name (which may be alphanumeric and may also have underscores and hyphens). The dump[n] prefix is what exists on the dump file name and should be appended to the database name to create the soft link. Any suggestions on how this can be accomplished? I am using ksh.
