Hi Team,

Currently we are developing script to fetch tomact version & instances information from servers list.  
1)Tomcat server path : /users/domains/tomcat/zz0003/zz0003\_app/conf/tomcat.version  
Would like to extract string zz0003\_app (or) zz0003 (or) app from above line(1)  
2) jdk version :/users/java/jdkx.x.x\_xxx  
Would like to extract string jdkx.x.x\_xxx from above line (2)

tried couple of ways to extract string using regex\_search/regex\_findall but not succeeded. Could you please suggest here? Thanks .

Regards
