Imagine I have a file like this:
buf="$(cat <<EOF
part1: a part
part5: another part
# comment
part9: 9th part
EOF
)"
How can I get the line containing 'part5' using ksh93 string
operators, avoiding both 'while read...' and 'sed'? I tried
${buf##pattern}, ${buf#pattern}, ${buf%pattern}, ${buf%%pattern} but
they all _remove_ the string pattern. I need a string operator which
only leaves the string matching pattern and removes the rest.
Cheers,
William
