I use md5sum to generate a hash value for a file. But I only need to receive the hash value, not the file name.
md5=`md5sum ${my_iso_file}`
echo ${md5}
Output:
3abb17b66815bc7946cefe727737d295 ./iso/somefile.iso
How can I 'strip' the file name and only retain the value?
Using AWK:
md5=`md5sum ${my_iso_file} | awk '{ print $1 }'`
