    Do you mean, just the "2%" from:

    PAGING Information
    Total Paging Space Percent Used
          8192MB 2%

    ...but only the first entry in the file?

    That's not terribly easy with simple commands. You might be able
    to knock something up in awk.

    I guess you've got another script which creates this log file by
    concatenating the output of various other commands - sar, lsps etc.
    If you modify this to use a consistent separator you might be able
    to use a relatively simple grep. The simplest would be a blank
    line, which is the default.

    e.g. grep -p "Total Paging Space" | more greps, read, tail...

    This seems an odd thing to want. If you explain to us what
    you're really trying to do, and why you need this information,
    maybe someone can suggest a better solution.

    For a start, nmon might be a good replacement for the entire thing,
    although it won't give you paging space utilisation. It's widely
    used and covers most of what you've got, and can easily be used to
    produce nice graphs to show to managers. Things like lsvg output
    are fairly static, and I wouldn't have thought they need to be
    generated more than once per day.

    If you want paging-space utilisation at 10:30 - or whatever time -
    it'd be simpler just to run the command at that time, rather than
    try to extract it. But again: I don't understand why this would be
    of any particular use. It only makes sense in context: either to
    have the highest value through the day, or a whole series of values
    over time.

    It looks to me like you're trying to solve the wrong problem.
