[SOLVED] How to grep value from a php array

Issue

I have simple php array in a php file. Here is the content :

<?php

$arr = array(
    'fookey' => 'foovalue',
    'barkey' => 'barvalue'
);

How can I fetch value foovalue using grep command ?

I have tried :

cat file.php | grep 'fookey=>'

Or

cat file.php | grep 'fookey=>*'

but always return the full line.

Solution

Your grep command shouldn’t have worked if you are doing it just the way you posted it here. But if you are getting that line from grep whatever way you are doing,

Pass the output you got from grep through a pipe to

awk -F"'" '{print $4}'

I tested it this way on my pc:

echo "'fookey' => 'foovalue'" | awk -F"'" '{print $4}'
