IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-INS-L

IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-INS-L), Version 12.0(14a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

if var = "IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-INS-L), Version 12.0(14a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)"

What is the best way to isolate only 12.0(14a) ?

The shell way would be sumtin line
echo "$var" | sed 's/.*ersion //g s/\, REL.*//g'

Whats the perl equiv for pipe ?

You might want to put a little better subjects on in the future..

$var = "IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-INS-L), Version 12.0(14a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)";


@tmp = split /\s+/, $var;
#Get rid of that trailing comma
chop $tmp[6];
print "$tmp[6]\n";


#or
@tmp = split /\,/, $var;
@tmp2 = split /\s+/, $tmp[1];
print "$tmp2[2]\n";

$var =  "IOS (tm) 2500 Software (C2500-INS-L), Version 12.0(14a), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)";
($version) = $var =~ /(Version([^,])+)/;
print $version;

Yeah but they don't count I learned split way before I knew what a reg expr was.
