Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Stopping grep after one match in a for loop Post 302557236 by Karunamon on Tuesday 20th of September 2011 04:37:56 PM

Huh! I didn't know about those gotchas with cat and the backticks (they call out exactly what I was doing there as very very wrong), so thanks for that Smilie

Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem though. It's still returning more than one file for each line in my targets.txt

Code:
grep -l -Ff targets.txt *.xml

Radoulov's script did though! I never would have thought about using a while loop in that way. It seems I have much to learn still. Thanks!!

XZGREP(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZGREP(1)

NAME
xzgrep - search compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
xzgrep [grep_options] [-e] pattern file... xzegrep ... xzfgrep ... lzgrep ... lzegrep ... lzfgrep ... DESCRIPTION
xzgrep invokes grep(1) on files which may be either uncompressed or compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options specified are passed directly to grep(1). If no file is specified, then standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep(1). When reading from standard input, gzip(1) and bzip2(1) compressed files are not supported. If xzgrep is invoked as xzegrep or xzfgrep then egrep(1) or fgrep(1) is used instead of grep(1). The same applies to names lzgrep, lze- grep, and lzfgrep, which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils. ENVIRONMENT
GREP If the GREP environment variable is set, xzgrep uses it instead of grep(1), egrep(1), or fgrep(1). SEE ALSO
grep(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zgrep(1) Tukaani 2010-09-27 XZGREP(1)
