Pull out multiple lines with grep patternfile
Hi,
I'm trying to get lines from a file using identifiers in the first two columns. I have used:
cat MasterFile.txt | grep -f Pattern.txt
and the lines I want display on screen. If I try to put them in a file the file is created but stays empty:
cat MasterFile.txt | grep -f Pattern.txt > output.txt
Also: If I use the whole pattern file (tested with 12 top lines from my pattern file to start) it doesn't even display on screen.....
Any ideas how I can do this? Very frustrating that the process seems to work but then hit the brick wall!!!
