    Hello,

    please how can i extract an Linux command out of e-mail message?

    I sent an e-mail with this text:
    and in the received e-mail file is:
    The e-mail encoding is:
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

    Please which example command can i use to extract that Linux command out of the mail file not knowing which command the file will contain, only knowing that the command will be after string "cmd: " ?

    I am able to extract alphanumeric string, but i do not know how to do what i explained.

    Thank You

    I think this would be quite difficult awk or sed command/s, so i think i will rather make sure e-mail is sent without any special html formating (as a plain text), that way the command seems to remain same as it was typed.
