Hello all, What I am trying to do is run a command and take a very specific part of a line of its output and save it to a file. Here's the route i've been going down so far... with no success might I add.
the program im running is called sensors (lm_sensors) and run on its own gives output of the temperatures of a handful of devices... I've narrowed the output down to just the line im interested in with the command sensors |grep CPU: |cat > cpu which gives me a file called cpu with contents: - CPU: +53.4?C (limit = +120?C, hysteresis = +100?C) the problem im having is that i need the file to just contain: - 53.4 or whatever the value was when sensors was run. i've tried variations of this command like: - sensors |grep CPU: |grep -o +##.#? |cat > cpu but i just cant find a way to get it to do what i want. If any of you know the command that will give me the output I'm looking for, or know a different way of doing it, that would be fantastic.
