Question About Getting Line Numbers in a File
Ok, this is a unique question.
Say I have a word like "jamamamama" in a file called foo.bar. Now, how do you get the line number that the word "jamammama" exist in the file foo.bar without having to go into the foo.bar file to edit it? is there a command i can run on the foo.bar command to get the line number?
