I wish to delete some text before some pattern. For example:



VAR="This is a test script text and real script text."
PATTERN="test "


And the desired output that I want is:



NEW_VAR="script text and real script text."


Please kindly advise me as I am new to Linux scripting.

          If you are using a shell that supports parameter expansions of type $WORD##*STR, then all you need to do is below.



          printf '%sn' "$VAR##*$PATTERN"


          To store it in the new variable, use the command substitution trick with $(..) or use printf's inherent capability to store the formatted string in a new variable



          printf -v NEW_VAR '%s' "$VAR##*$PATTERN"
