Full Discussion: Find EXACT word in files, just the word: no prefix, no suffix, no 'similar', just the word
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Find EXACT word in files, just the word: no prefix, no suffix, no 'similar', just the word Post 302613859 by Freddythunder on Wednesday 28th of March 2012 02:26:57 AM

I am totally brand new to this so don't get mad if I'm wrong... But when I'm looking through the maillog for my name in a line, I do this:
# more maillog | grep "freddy"
which is what I think you're doing now. Have you tried putting the white space in the serach like " freddy "? I know that if you want to match spaces on either side you can use escaped s "\s" but have no example.
