shell script problem

hi all.

im using the awk command to search a file for a matching number.

lets say the numbers in the file are 4588281, 4588282 and 4588283.

my problem is when i search for 8, the three numbers above appear. I want to have it so that if i search for any number that is not matching EXACTLY THE SAME as the three numbers above, then nothing will be returned from the awk command.

is there a way to do this? if so, how?

thanks all in advance for your replies.

Searching for this OR that...

Hi,

I think this is what you're after:

awk '/4588281/ || /4588282/ || /4588283/ { print $0 }' test

Where test is your input file.

HTH,

pondlife

try this ..

in grep

Code:
egrep -v '4588281|4588282|4588283' test
in awk

Code:
awk '$0 !~ /4588281/ && $0 !~ /4588282/ && $0 !~ /4588283/ { print $0 }' test
