Output only certain fields
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Been looking for a way to output a certain field in a line, and only the next field after it.
So say I have file with the contents "blue, green, purple, orange, black, white, ", how would I search for the word "purple, ", and print to screen only "purple, orange,".
I need to omit the "black, white," from the output.
cat filename | sed -n -e 's/^.*(purple)/1/p'
purple, orange, black, white,
text-processing awk sed

$ grep -o 'purple, [^,]*' input
purple, orange
The -o switch prints only the string matching the pattern.
The pattern is the string purple,, followed by zero or more characters which are anything other than a comma.
