hi all,

I need to grep for a string in a file which is in another string

For Ex:

This is the sample file

sample.txt

number 1234
name raje
passwd 1234
date 123
service 75
service 23

I have made a unix command like this, i am not sure this is correct or wrong. If any better way please share with me

$ grep -w "service" sample.txt > /tmp/supp_serv.txt | cat /tmp/supp_serv.txt | grep "75" > /tmp/sscode75.txt

In the output (sscode.txt) i have to get ONLY "service 75"

Thanks,
-raje..

If you can depend on there being a fixed number of spaces between "service" and "75"
- this assumes one space

Thanks for the fast reply.

I want to print the file name aswell in the sscode75.txt

When i use the either one of the command ( like grep "service" sample.txt | grep "75" > /tmp/sscode75.txt ) i get only "service 75" in the sscode75.txt

But i want to put the file name also like

"sample.txt service 75"

grep "service" /dev/null sample.txt | grep 75 > /tmp/sscode75.txt

Cheers
ZB
