Linux filter/sort input using awk

Question

Looking for subtitle track that has default_track:1 (if any), and output the Track ID. In this case the output should be 2

So far I have this:

awk '/: subtitles.*default_track:1/ {gsub(".*Track ID ", "", $0); gsub(" .*", "", $0); print $0 }'

Which gives me this:

2:

But I'm looking for this:

Here is the input:

awk '/: subtitles.*default_track:1/ {gsub(":", "", $3); print $3}' — JJoao

This should do the trick:

awk -F'[ :]+' '$4=="subtitles"&&/default_track:1[[:space:]]/{print $3}' yourfile

It sets the field separator to also have : included.

The PATTERN-part checks two things: If the fourth field equals subtitles, and if default_track:1 is somewhere in the line.

$ awk -F'[ :]' '/subtitles.*default_track:1/{print $3}' file
2

If there can be other strings in your file that contain subtitles or default_track:1 then surround them with word boundaries, e.g. with GNU awk:

$ awk -F'[ :]' '/\<subtitles\>.*\<default_track:1\>/{print $3}' file
2

A small + fixes your problem:

awk '/: subtitles.*default_track:1/ {print +$3}' file
2

Using + it will add 0 to 2:. This will get the value only.
