Parse output with bash script and awk

[AlbertAguirre]

My command returns this:

Libsmbios: 0.8.0
System ID: 0x01B2
Service Tag: D*****1
Product Name: PowerEdge 2950
BIOS Version: 2.1.1
Vendor: Dell Inc.
Is Dell: 1


I need to loop through each row and move the value left of the ":" to one variable and the value to the right of the ":" to a second variable.

How?

why do you need awk:

#!/bin/bash

while IFS=":" read f1 f2
do
  echo "$f1"
  echo "$f2"
done < myfile.txt

That works if theres a file involved (myfile.txt). But theres no file. The output is coming from a linux command.

Can your snippet be modified top handle that?

-A

Try piping your command:

Linux command|
while IFS=":" read f1 f2
do
  echo "$f1"
  echo "$f2"
done
