how to find a particular string from a set of string output
Hi ,
I have a line by line output as follows,for example output of ls
sample1
sample2
sample
i need to check if this output contains the exact string sample.If i use grep , it will find out all strings that contain sample as a part of their word.I dont want to do a pattern matching here but check if one of the line is equal to "sample" (a string comparison).How can i achieve this in shell scripting?
Thanks,
Padmini
