Using grep to get the next WORD after a match in each line

Question

I want to get the \"GET\" queries from my server logs.

For example, this is the server log

1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa - - [10/Jun/2012          


        

Answer 1

use a pipe if you use grep:

grep -o /he.* log.txt | grep -o [^/].*
grep -o /ss log.txt | grep -o [^/].*

[^/] means extract the letters after ^ symbol from the grep output
