grep command

Geogia · #1 (**permalink**) 06-20-2005

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is a way to forward the results from a grep command into a new file.

If anyone knows how to do that please let me know.

Thanks a lot.

> operator will create a new file (if the file exists, this operation will over write the contents of the file.

>> will append to an existing file.

In both cases, if the file does not already exist, it will be created.

cat file | grep "pattern" > my_new_file
ls -a | grep "pattern" >> my_new_file
grep "pattern" file > my_new_file
