[ale] Shell Scripting question

[Jerry Yu]

	if it is as fixed as your example, you just do a 'cut -b23-', 
assuming column 23 is where the file name starts. If there are 
trailing characters after the file name, you may need to say cut -b23-40, 
assuming column 40 is where your file name ends.

	egrep -i "you have an error in" errLogFile | cut -b23-
