sed pattern matching question

[gcazian]

Hi, I am new to sed and have a quick question.

I am trying to match the output of the 'java -version' command. However, I onlt want to match from the word 'Classic' onto the end of the line:

java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (J2RE 1.2.2 IBM build ca122-20041020 (JIT enabled: jitc))

How do I do this?

So, with your sample input, what is your expected result ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

I just want this:

Classic VM (J2RE 1.2.2 IBM build ca122-20041020 (JIT enabled: jitc))

I think the output is one line; I tried to tail -1 the output, but still got the 'java version "1.2.2"' portion as well.

something like this ?
java -version | sed -n '/Classic/p'

Hope This Helps, PH.

FYI,
Solaris' 'java -version' outputs its version to stderr - you may need to redirect stderr to stdout:

java -version 2>&1 | sed -n '/^Classic/p'
