Question

I have the following file conf.txt:

perl /home/site/gen.pl  "GG - W C1 Test - sai2" "15072" && ssh     13.4.93.104 
perl /home/site/gen.pl  "GG - W C1 Test - sai3" "15072" && ssh 13.4.93.105 

how to print the third field - between the "...." ,

for example

GG - W C1 Test - sai1
GG - W C1 Test - sai2
GG - W C1 Test - sai3

Answer 1

Try using awk:

awk -F'"' '{ print $2 }' conf.txt

Answer 2

cut -d\" -f2 <infile >outfile

That's all you need.
