String Grab 1

Object: to print text between < > using substr

Input:
lo0:flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4>

Desired output:
UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4


I have attempted the above, but have problems removing ">", using:
# nawk '{print substr($0, index($0,"<")+1)}' path_to_file

nawk -F'[<>]' '{print $2}' path_to_file

Something like this ?
awk '{sub(/.*</,"");sub(/>.*/,"");print}'

Hope This Helps, PH.

Or..
[tt]
awk 'match($0,"<[^>]*>"){print substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)}'[/tt]

Hi Ygor,
[tt]
Tried your bit of code:
nawk 'match($0,"<[^>]*>"){print substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)}' file

However the output is:
<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4>

[tt]awk 'match($0,"<[^>]*>"){print substr($0,RSTART+1,RLENGTH-2)}'[/tt]
