Awk: Field Extraction

EasySed & Awk3-5 min
The brief

/root/work/team.txt has three whitespace-separated columns: name, role, city.

Pull just the ROLE column into /root/work/out.txt, one per line.

Grading compares against that column, so emitting the wrong one — or the whole line — fails.

What you'll do
  • Extract the role column, the second of the three
  • Save the column to /root/work/out.txt

Hands-on lab: you work on a real Linux box in your browser, graded on the machine's actual state.
