Hrm. I dont understand why the bash script thinks wc is an option of grep, but really, this is the wrong approach:
If the file is sorted, you can do:
If it's not sorted, you can sort it just with sort. If you run out of memory, you can split the file into n files, sort each individually and then merge them with sort (see the man page for the merge option). Then the resulting file will be sorted and you just use the uniq command, above.
But lets say you just want to count the number of lines matching a particular string. Try:
The -F ensures your string wont be interpreted as a regular expression pattern.
I'm trying to make a simple search script but cannot get it right. The script should search for keywords inside files. Then return the file paths in a variable. (Each file path separated with \n).

Hi,
I am very new to bash scripting and I need to write a bash script that takes two arguments, a string and a file.

I'm putting together a script that will search my mail archives for emails that meet certain criteria and output the files to a text file.
I can manually cat that text file and pipe it into sendmail and it will work (i.e. cat /pathtofile/foo.txt | sendmail -t me@company.com)

Hi,
I'm trying to write a script that checks gvfs to see if a mount exists so I can run it from network-manager's status hooks. I thought I'd pipe the output of gvfs-mount -l to grep for the particular mounts I care about. When I do this in a bash script:

devscripts.conf - configuration file for the devscripts package
DESCRIPTION
The devscripts package provides a collection of scripts which may be of use to Debian developers and others wishing to build Debian pack-
ages. Many of these have options which can be configured on a system-wide and per-user basis.
Every script in the devscripts package which makes use of values from these configuration files describes the specific settings recognised
in its own manpage. (For a list of the scripts, either see /usr/share/doc/devscripts/README.gz or look at the output of dpkg -L devscripts
| grep /usr/bin.)
The two configuration files are /etc/devscripts.conf for system-wide defaults and ~/.devscripts for per-user settings. They are written
with bash(1) syntax, but should only have comments and simple variable assignments in them; they are both sourced (if present) by many of
the devscripts scripts. Variables corresponding to simple switches should have one of the values yes and no; any other setting is regarded
as equivalent to the default setting.
All variable names are written in uppercase, and begin with the script name. Package-wide variables begin with "DEVSCRIPTS", and are
listed below, as well as in the relevant manpages.
For a list of all of the available options variables, along with their default settings, see the example configuration file
/usr/share/doc/devscripts/devscripts.conf.ex. This is copied to /etc/devscripts.conf when the devscripts package is first installed.
Information about configuration options introduced in newer versions of the package will be appended to /etc/devscripts.conf when the pack-
age is upgraded.
Every script which reads the configuration files can be forced to ignore them by using --no-conf as the first command-line option.
PACKAGE-WIDE VARIABLES
The currently recognised package-wide variables are:
DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL, DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX
These variables control scripts which change directory to find a debian/changelog file or suchlike, and some other miscellaneous
cases. In order to prevent unwanted, even possibly dangerous, behaviour, these variables control when actions will be performed.
The scripts which currently make use of these variables are: debc, debchange/dch, debclean, debi, debrelease, debuild and uscan, but
this list may change with time (and I may not remember to update this manpage). Please see the manpages of individual scripts for
details of the specific behaviour for each script.
SEE ALSO devscripts(1) and /usr/share/doc/devscripts/README.gz.
