I'm on a Linux machine with a bash shell. I have some apache logs from where I want to extract the lines that match this pattern :
Code:
"GET /dir1/dir2/dir3/bt_sx.gif HTTP/1.1"
but where "/dir1/dir2/dir3/bt_sx" may vary , so I would like to grep something like
Code:
cat apache.log | grep "\"GET *.gif\""
which obviously doesn't work.SO I want the lines that contain "GET, space, whatever followed by .gif" ofcourse with these 2 double quotes. In other words I want to use a * wildcard in a regular expression that contains spaces also for a grep pattern. I want to use grep because It think it's faster. But eventually I can use anything else, sed, awk.. etc.
guys,
my requirment goes like this:
I have a file, and wish to filter out records where
1. The first letter is o or O
and
2. The next 4 following letter should not be ther
I do not wish to use pipe and wish to do it in one shot.
The best expression I came up with is:

fnmatch
FNMATCH(3) 1 FNMATCH(3)fnmatch - Match filename against a patternSYNOPSIS
bool fnmatch (string $pattern, string $string, [int $flags])
DESCRIPTION fnmatch(3) checks if the passed $string would match the given shell wildcard $pattern.
PARAMETERS
o $pattern
- The shell wildcard pattern.
o $string
- The tested string. This function is especially useful for filenames, but may also be used on regular strings. The average user
may be used to shell patterns or at least in their simplest form to '?' and '*' wildcards so using fnmatch(3) instead of
preg_match(3) for frontend search expression input may be way more convenient for non-programming users.
o $flags
- The value of $flags can be any combination of the following flags, joined with the binary OR (|) operator.
A list of possible flags for fnmatch(3)

|FNM_PATHNAME | |

| FNM_PERIOD | |
| | |
| | Leading period in string must be exactly matched |
| | by period in the given pattern. |
| | |
| | |
|FNM_CASEFOLD | |
| | |
| | Caseless match. Part of the GNU extension. |
