TRY THIS
x=`grep -w "Hello World" data.out | wc -l`
if test $x -eq 0 ; then
echo "String not found"
else
echo "String found"
fi
You could save yourself a little work and rewrite that so the if-statement uses grep's exit status directly (assuming the count is not needed, of course):

Hi,
I'd like to grep a variable that I saved in the program.
Like
grep '0\$variable1' file1
Does someone know what's wrong with this command?
Thanks a lot! (2 Replies)

while read LINE
do
echo "$LINE"
grep -c "$LINE" B.tmp
done> > > > >
Socket
0
$
but in contrast this one works fine (returns 3 as expected):
$ LINE=Socket
$ grep -c $LINE B.tmp
3

Hello,
I usually search extensively and have to date found what I've needed. However, this one's got me stumped. I need to create a variable as follow.

Hi,
I am trying to grep one variable over the other variable
Example:
i=abc
j=ab
grep $j $i
I am getting this error:
The error is due to $i being variable and not file. I know I could do it by putting the value of abc in a file
and then greping it. (1 Reply)

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep is used to invoke the grep on compress'ed or gzip'ed files. All options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is speci-
fied, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and
fed to grep.
If zgrep is invoked as zegrep or zfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses
it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep zgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; zgrep string files)
