I have a pattern file called pattern.txt containing the following
Code:
abc
def
I want to do a count, but have it display the count value preceeding each line like grep -n
so
grep -n -f pattern.txt would show
Code:
1:abc
2:def
3:abc
4:abc
5:def
What I would like to do is have grep count the number of occurances in the file and place that value at the begining of the output so it would look like
Code:
3:abc
2:def
3 means abc occured 3 times in the file
2 means def occured 2 times in the file
Is there a function or a clever way to achieve this?
I have the following data:
A
1
2
3
A
4
5
6
A
7
8
9
I want to grep this data with A and 3 lines below it then display them in this format:
A 1 2 3
A 4 5 6
A 7 8 9 (4 Replies)

Hi
is there a way in grep to display few lines before and after the pattern??
I tried options A and B and after-context and before-context. But they don't work on Solaris platform.
please advise. (13 Replies)
I use grep to check for a string that validates data in a file, it works great but the problem is that the file is becoming too big and gerp has started hurting the response time to users. Since I only need to find the first occurrence I have been looking for ways to stop grep for scanning the rest... (8 Replies)

i wanna the output to be

at the end not to appear the filename fom grep command :D :D (3 Replies)
I have a file against which I can grep a string for. I can also check for that string count using wc -l (or grep -c). I need to display the results of both in one output i.e. 'line containing string' and 'count' - what would be the most efficient way of managing this? Thanks in advance. (3 Replies)
i have this line of code that looks for the same file if it is currently running and returns the count.
`ps -eaf -o args | grep -i sfs_pcard_load_file.ksh | grep -v grep | wc -l`
basically it is assigned to a variable
ISRUNNING=`ps -eaf -o args | grep -i sfs_pcard_load_file.ksh |... (6 Replies)
How would I do the following :
Records other than ”ATOM”,”CONNECT”, ”HETATM”, ”TER” and ”END” are considered header records which describe the metadata about the molecule. Use grep to generate the header.

unbuffer
UNBUFFER(1) General Commands Manual UNBUFFER(1)NAME
unbuffer - unbuffer output
SYNOPSIS
unbuffer program [ args ]
INTRODUCTION
unbuffer disables the output buffering that occurs when program output is redirected from non-interactive programs. For example, suppose
you are watching the output from a fifo by running it through od and then more.
od -c /tmp/fifo | more
You will not see anything until a full page of output has been produced.
You can disable this automatic buffering as follows:
unbuffer od -c /tmp/fifo | more
Normally, unbuffer does not read from stdin. This simplifies use of unbuffer in some situations. To use unbuffer in a pipeline, use the
-p flag. Example:
process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3
CAVEATS
unbuffer -p may appear to work incorrectly if a process feeding input to unbuffer exits. Consider:
process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3
If process1 exits, process2 may not yet have finished. It is impossible for unbuffer to know long to wait for process2 and process2 may
not ever finish, for example, if it is a filter. For expediency, unbuffer simply exits when it encounters an EOF from either its input or
process2.
In order to have a version of unbuffer that worked in all situations, an oracle would be necessary. If you want an application-specific
solution, workarounds or hand-coded Expect may be more suitable. For example, the following example shows how to allow grep to finish pro-
cessing when the cat before it finishes first. Using cat to feed grep would never require unbuffer in real life. It is merely a place-
holder for some imaginary process that may or may not finish. Similarly, the final cat at the end of the pipeline is also a placeholder
for another process.
$ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | grep abc | cat
abcdef
xxxabc defxxx
$ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | unbuffer grep abc | cat
$ (cat /tmp/abcdef.log ; sleep 1) | unbuffer grep abc | cat
abcdef
xxxabc defxxx
$
BUGS
The man page is longer than the program.
