How to extract filenames from a chunk of code
I want to extract all the filenames which are coming in a piece of code like
a=`cut -d: -f 3 /etc/passwd | sort | uniq` | awk `{print $2}`
"if [ -n "$a" ];",
"then for i in `echo "$a"`; do awk -F:
...
;done; else echo "error";fi" cat /etc/issue ...
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
(/deny=/)
Like in this code, I want to fetch these files -
/etc/passwd, /etc/issue and /etc/pam.d/system-auth
regex linux bash

There are many valid filenames in your sample data:a,cut,/etc/passwd,sort,uniq,awk,printin the first line alone. You will need to be more specific about what you want to extract.

Assuming you are interested in absolute paths that start with a slash, you can use following regex to capture,
/[w+./-]+(?= |$)
Demo
You may put your text in a file say myfile and then run this command,
cat myfile|grep -oP '/[w+./-]+(?= |$)'
OR
grep -oP '/[w+./-]+(?= |$)' myfile
This prints following output as the way you want,
/etc/passwd
/etc/issue
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
