AWK program - Help Needed

[blx]

Hi All,
I have the following line:
1944512883.1.347#TMF_ManagedNode::Managed_Node#

I want to use AWK to extract 1944512883.1 only and then discard everything else after the '1'.

I'd be really grateful if someone could show me how or tell me if this can be done.

Thanks VM in advance.

Hi blx,

with "cut" (I think this is faster than awk):
grep Managed yourfile | cut -d. -f1-2

with "awk":
awk -F. '[ print $1 "." $2 } yourfile

or a bit more flexible (but slower) with "nawk":
first create a Variable like $DELIMITER="."
nawk F$DELIMITER -v del=$DELIMITER '{ print $1 del $2 }' yourfile

HTH
