Not the most elegant:
sed -e 's/^.*bookVariable\[.\([a-z][a-z]*\).*$/\1/'

Hi.
I've got a file.. with a bunch of lines looking like:
$bookVariable['asu']['Fall-2016']='link';
$bookVariable['lehmancuny']['Fall-2016']='1';
$bookVariable['uvu']['Fall-2016']='1';
$bookVariable['wmich']['Summer II 2017']='1';
$bookVariable['wmich']['Summer I 2017']='1';
$bookVariable['dmacc']['Summer-2017']='1';
$bookVariable['sdmesa']['Summer-2017']='link';
I''m looking to get the "text" inside the 1st group of brackets []
The following sed only gets the 1st 3 lines.. and it doesn't completely work.
sed -n "s/^.*bookVariable\['\(\S*\)'].*$/\1/p" foo.txt
asu']['Fall-2016
lehmancuny']['Fall-2016
uvu']['Fall-2016
thanks..
