I have 2 files, in one file is a list of hex numbers, the other is what i need matched. Is it possible for me to specify to grep the list and have it go through the second file for each item in the list in the first file to match the lines? so this is like a cross-refference. (16 Replies)

I wanted to search a for all lines containing ERROR but not errors that contained the word "foo" (for example). The only way I could figure out to do it was:
grep ERROR myfile.log | grep -v foo

I am grepping a log file but want to filter out more than one thing..

My grep returns a row of data like this:
75=20130130;60=074338;61=985;511=55473883;452=115439;62=196;267=1;
Is there a way for the grep to only return 60="something" and 511="something" ?
Thanks in advance. (10 Replies)
