grep -ow word will find "word" but not "someword". A pattern which matches the entire word in which the search pattern is embedded would be something like
This says if there are any A-Z or a-z characters before or after, those are included in the pattern (and thus in what should be printed by -o). Then I guess you don't really need the -w option because the specified pattern already takes care of matching an entire word.
If you want "quote" marks, 'single' quotes, hyp-hens or abbr'viation apostrophes, you need to change the pattern slightly. Getting it perfectly right for all possible English words is not easy (and perhaps not even doable, depending on how you define "all", "possible", and "English").
Hi,
When we "grep" for a word in a file, it returns the lines containing the word that we searched for. Is there a way to display only the words and not the entire line containing them.
Thanks

zegrep
ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
