Hi, With gawk I'm able to do the following:
$ gawk -v pattern=try '$0 ~ "\\<"pattern"\\>"{getline;print $2}' ~/.ssh/config ~/.ssh/try/id_rsa $ cat ~/.ssh/config Host try IdentityFile ~/.ssh/try/id_rsa I don't want to install extra pkgs on Debian Stretch (9). Googling around didn't turn out something useful. Does anyone has any idea on how I can emulate the above using mawk? -- John Doe
