not there yet
I'm getting nothing in my .data file.
When I set -x -v, I see that the program is cycling through each FinalReport file just fine, but nothing is getting written. So I'm guessing the problem is with the 'cat'.
(part of the set -x set -v output:
+ for i in './TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport*.txt'
+ for j in ''\''cat ./SearchPattern13.txt'\'''
+ grep -m 1 cat ./SearchPattern13.txt ./TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport1095.txt
+ for i in './TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport*.txt'
+ for j in ''\''cat ./SearchPattern13.txt'\'''
+ grep -m 1 cat ./SearchPattern13.txt ./TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport1096.txt)
I also have grepped using the SearchPattern13.txt and it does pull out the data (but I stop it because it would take all day).
for i in ./TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport*.txt
do
for j in 'cat ./SearchPattern13.txt'
do
grep -m 1 $j $i >>650hgdp13.data
done
done

Hi All,
is there a way to extract the line number of an occurrence using grep?
I know that with the -n option it prints out the line number as well.
I would like to assign the line number to a variable.
Thanks,

zfgrep
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.
SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
