I am able to get the Below answer starting with 21. I need to get rid of the beginning, and the end. I only need to get the "/apps/java/default_jdk"



What is the best Sed Command that will get me that output?



find /apps/java/ -type l -exec ls -lad {} ; |grep /apps/java/default | awk -F: '{print $2}'



21 /apps/java/default_jdk -> jdk1.8.0_181

    Why don't you just do "find /apps/java -type l -print"?

  • Why do you run find at all? You are pointing find at the directory where the symbolic link is found, and you know its name. Is it that you don't know that the filename suffix is _jdk?

  • By the way, ls -lad is equivalent to ls -ld.

After Joshva Jo's suggestion, I have made some changes, and made it work.



Command:



find /apps/java/ -type l -exec ls -ld {} ; | grep default* | awk -F ' ' '{print $9}'



Output:



/apps/java/default_jdk
