Hi Folks,
I am trying to extract a substring from a string found in a file.
The string is: *** End of TF0220 at Thu Jul 2 10:06:51 EST 2009 -
RC = 0
and the substring I want to extract is TF0220. This is a program name
and the length of this name varies. In other words I want to extract
whatever is between the words "of" and "at" in a script.
How would I likely go about that please?
