Yeah I tried.... But it is ignoring the lines which are being stored with tab insteadof space.....
for eg:
if i have the following lines in my file :
package com.att.iom; line 1
[space][space]package com.att.iom; line 2
[space] package com.att.iom; line 3
[space][space][space][space] package com.att.iom; line 4
something package com.att.iom;..... ##but I don't need this line line 5
[tab][tab]package com.att.iom; line 6 Here No space at begining of the line
something something package com.att.iom;##but I don't need this line line 7
package com.att.iom; line8
here is the o/p while I run this grep cmd:
---------------------------------
sa156s@::/export/home/sa156s> grep '^[ \t]*package com.att.iom;' file
package com.att.iom; line 1
package com.att.iom; line 2
package com.att.iom; line 3
package com.att.iom; line 4
package com.att.iom; line8
---------------------------------
it is ignoring the line #:6, but how to grep including that one also......

Hi,
When we have a failure, sometimes we just step restart the job from the next step. Later when we open the log for analysis of the failure, it is becoming difficult to go to the failure part.
For eg., if it is a 1000 line log, the failure may be at 500th line. so wat i want to do is, grep... (6 Replies)

rewrite
REWRITE(6) Games Manual REWRITE(6)NAME
rewrite - mail rewrite rules
SYNOPSIS
/mail/lib/rewrite
DESCRIPTION Mail(1) uses rewrite rules to convert mail destinations into commands used to dispose of the mail. Each line of the file is a rule. Blank
lines and lines beginning with # are ignored.
Each rewriting rule consists of (up to) 4 strings:
pattern
A regular expression in the style of regexp(6). The pattern is applied to mail destination addresses. The pattern match is case-
insensitive and must match the entire address.
type The type of rule; see below.
arg1 An ed(1) style replacement string, with
standing for the text matched by the nth parenthesized subpattern.
arg2 Another ed(1) style replacement string.
In each of these fields the substring s is replaced by the login id of the sender and the substring l is replaced by the name of the
local machine.
When delivering a message, mail starts with the first rule and continues down the list until a pattern matches the destination address. It
then performs one of the following actions depending on the type of the rule:
>> Append the mail to the file indicated by expanding arg1, provided that file appears to be a valid mailbox.
| Pipe the mail through the command formed from concatenating the expanded arg1 and arg2.
alias Replace the address by the address(es) specified by expanding arg1 and recur.
translate
Replace the address by the address(es) output by the command formed by expanding arg1 and recur.
Mail expands the addresses recursively until each address has matched a >> or | rule or until the recursion depth indicates a rewriting
loop (currently 32).
If mail(1) is called with more than one address and several addresses match | rules and result in the same expanded arg1, the message is
delivered to all those addresses by a single command, composed by concatenating the common expanded arg1 and each expanded arg2. This mail
bundling is performed to reduce the number of times the same message is transmitted across a network. For example, with the following re-
write rule
([^!]*.att.com)!(.*) | "/mail/lib/qmail 's' 'net!1'" "'2'"
if user presotto runs the command
% mail research.att.com!ken research.att.com!rob
there will follow only one execution of the command
/mail/lib/qmail presotto net!research.att.com ken rob
Here /mail/lib/qmail is an rc(1) script used for locally queuing remote mail.
In the event of an error, the disposition of the mail depends on the name of the command executing the rewrite. If the command is called
mail and is run by $user, the command will print an error and deposit the message in /mail/box/$user/dead.letter. If the command is called
rmail, usually because it was invoked to deliver mail arriving over the network, the message will be returned to the sender. The returned
message will appear to have been sent by user postmaster.
