Using just awk you could do  I also shortened some of your piping    strings -a libAddressDoctor5 so   awk   EngineVersion    if NR  2    gsub           print  2        I can t verify it for you because I don t know your exact input  but the following works   echo  Blah EngineVersion   123      awk   EngineVersion    gsub           print  2      See also this question on removing single quotes

tr can be more concise for removing characters than sed or awk  especially when you want to remove different characters from a string   Removing double quotes   echo   Hi     tr -d      Produces Hi without quotes   Removing different kinds of brackets   echo    Hi      tr -d        Produces Hi without brackets   -d stands for  delete

Use sed s substitution  sed  s    g   s X Y  replaces X with Y   g means all occurrences should be replaced  not just the first one
