Your example is not very clear. You mean, extract and print those tokens which contain the string "abc"?
Do you want to preserve newlines? (This solution does.) What about spaces between the tokens? (This solution normalizes them to one space between each.)

GAELIC(5) Linux Programmers Manual GAELIC(5)NAME
gaelic - a list of Scots Gaelic words
DESCRIPTION
/usr/share/dict/gaelic is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.
FILES
/etc/dictionaries-common/words is a symbolic link to a /usr/share/dict/<language> file. /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
/etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which other software should refer to the system word list. See select-default-
wordlist(8) for more information.
The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist. Such lists should be coded using the ISO
8859-1 character set encoding.
SEE ALSO ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
HISTORY
The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.
The system word list used to be /usr/dict/words. For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not
exist.
