Searching a file for words by length
Hi,
I'm rather new to Unix and I'm trying to write a simple script to search through a dictionary for words based on the letters a user would pass as arguments to the script. Now I have the searching part done. However, the one thig that still eludes me is that I want to only keep the words that are only 6 characters in length, and separately, 6 characters in length or less. So far I've been using grep to get the words but it retrieves words of all lengths. How can I do this? Thanks to all who reply! Jason |
