how to print ssid only?

While I working on a script I need to print available SSID only.

I tried this:

sudo iwlist wlp2s0 scan | grep ESSID

I got output like this:

ESSID:"CoreFragment_5G"

                    ESSID:"dlink"

                    ESSID:"REDWING LABS"

                    ESSID:"Hitachi"

                    ESSID:"COMFAST"

                    ESSID:"Yash Shah"

                    ESSID:"CoreFragment"

                    ESSID:"Appbirds_Technologies"

                    ESSID:"20096641"

                    ESSID:"REDWING LABS_5G"

but I want to print name only.

sudo iwlist wlo1 scan | grep ESSID | sort |uniq | awk -F: '{print $2}'

Will give you the list of available ssid in quotes, to get rid of quotes use tr -d ", i.e,

sudo iwlist wlo1 scan | grep ESSID | sort |uniq | awk -F: '{print $2}' | tr -d "

Here the sort and uniq only prints the unique ssid, and awk grabs only the names.

There are many ways to do it, usign awk:

sudo iwlist wlp2s0 scan | grep ESSID | awk -F '"' '{print $2}'

or using cut:

sudo iwlist wlp2s0 scan | grep ESSID | cut -d '"' -f2
