How to get a specific word in a file?

[coaxfiber]

with awk or grep how would I get a specific word in a file, rather than a lin.

For example:

File contains lines such as

This is MyTime:00:0450 Secs

I wanna to extract the String where it is between 'MyTime:' and Secs, where I need only the String '00:0450' printed.

Definelty not the entire row.

Could some one help me?

Hi,


Try this one assuming line 'MyTime:00:0450 Secs' is fix and only the numbers are varying,


cut -c 8-14 file.txt

FYI.
