Find EXACT word in files, just the word: no prefix, no suffix, no 'similar', just the word

I have a file that has the words I want to find in other files (but lets say I just want to find my words in a single file). Those words are IDs, so if my word is ZZZ4, outputs like aaZZZ4, ZZZ4bb, aaZZZ4bb, ZZ4, ZZZ, ZyZ4, ZZZ4.8 (or anything like that) WON'T BE USEFUL. I need the whole word... (6 Replies)

NAME
fmt, htmlfmt - simple text formatters SYNOPSIS
fmt [ option ... ] [ file ... ] htmlfmt [ -a ] [ -c charset ] [ -u url ] [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION
Fmt copies the given files (standard input by default) to its standard output, filling and indenting lines. The options are -l n Output line length is n, including indent (default 70). -w n A synonym for -l. -i n Indent n spaces (default 0). -j Do not join short lines: only fold long lines. Empty lines and initial white space in input lines are preserved. Empty lines are inserted between input files. Fmt is idempotent: it leaves already formatted text unchanged. Htmlfmt performs a similar service, but accepts as input text formatted with HTML tags. It accepts fmt's -l and -w flags and also: -a Normally htmlfmt suppresses the contents of form fields and anchors (URLs and image files); this flag causes it to print them, in square brackets. -c charset change the default character set from iso-8859-1 to charset. This is the character set assumed if there isn't one specified by the html itself in a <meta> directive. -u url Use url as the base URL for the document when displaying anchors; sets -a. SOURCE
/src/cmd/fmt.c /src/cmd/htmlfmt BUGS
Htmlfmt makes no attempt to render the two-dimensional geometry of tables; it just treats the table entries as plain, to-be-formatted text. FMT(1)
