    Hi all

    Looking to just take out the value below out of this file. Do you have unix command that can do this handy?

    Assuming that
    1. The value you want will always be on the 4th line
    2. The fields are always delimited with a space
    3. The value you want will always be in the 7th position

    this should do the trick:

    head -n4 myfile | tail -n1 | cut -d" " -f 7
    (where "myfile" is the name of your file)

    Regards,

    Liam

    Alternately if it's always the last value on the 3rd line after the first "SERVER" line then try a bit of awk...
    
awk 'BEGIN { LNO = 0 } /^SERVER/ { if (LNO == 0) { LNO = NR + 3 } } NR == LNO { print $NF; exit }' inputfile.txt

    ^^^ That's not tested.
