I am writing a bash script and I need to filter out some hexadecimal value from a return string of a command in bash for example:



hexVal=`mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk1 | grep 'Max Enhanced Area Size'`


Will return the value of hexVal as:



Max Enhanced Are Size [MAX_ENH_SIZE_MULT]: 0x000bd8


Now, I need the value of hexVal to be returned as:



0x000bd8

Instead of grep, you could use awk as it is more useful in pattern matching and printing out the matched fields



mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk1 | awk -F: '$1 ~ "^""Max Enhanced Area Size" print $2 '


You could also remove the leading space in the above result



awk -F: '$1 ~ "^""Max Enhanced Area Size" sub(/^[[:space:]]/,"",$2); print $2 '
