-w option in fgrep for Solaris
I want to use fgrep for a word serch ignoring case and it should dispaly word count along with the file name.

I m using below code

Code:
 
fgrep -wci string filenames

But it is giving error

Code:
 
Usage:  fgrep [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvx] pattern_list [file ...]
        fgrep [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvx] [-e pattern_list]... [-f pattern_file]... [file...]

I have checked the man page and found i cannot use -w option along with fgrep.

And i dont want to use grep because i have a lage no of strings to search so for performance gain i want to use fgrep.

Could you please suggest how do i implement this.

I think that there is more than one grep executable installed on Solaris. Try the one not on your path. You may have to find / -name "grep" to find it and then fully qualify the path name when you want to use it in your script with the -w flag.

Try:
Code:
/usr/sfw/bin/ggrep -Fwci string filenames

There is another grep in path /usr/xpg4/bin/grep.

But it is also giving same error..not allowing to use -F option alongwith -w option.

Code:
 
bash-3.00$ time /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -F -c -iw completed db*.log
Usage:  grep [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvwx] pattern_list [file ...]
        grep [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvwx] [-e pattern_list]... [-f pattern_file]... [file...]
        grep -E [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvx] pattern_list [file ...]
        grep -E [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvx] [-e pattern_list]... [-f pattern_file]... [file...]
        grep -F [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvx] pattern_list [file ...]
        grep -F [-c|-l|-q] [-bhinsvx] [-e pattern_list]... [-f pattern_file]... [file...]

Thank you jlliagre.. I tried your code...it is working perfectly

Code:
 
/usr/sfw/bin/ggrep -Fwci string filenames

But my concern is will /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep available in all solaris version?

Because my script will run on different solaris server on different clients...or is it available on a particular version.

More interestingly i cannot found any man page for this ggrep..can u pls let me know somethign about this command.

It's GNU grep. Check the man page for that.
