In your first post you wanted a "before" line (that my awk script stored in the b variable) and 2 "after" lines.
Without "before" line and 3 "after" lines:
Actually, after throwing away everything in the sample input before the last line containing "Starting", the command:
(the original command line nes provided [except it was missing the -E]) on the remaining text would produce:
and accept ERROR and WARNING in mixed case (not just in all caps). You and I could duplicate this in awk, but it is complex enough that I didn't want to take the time to reinvent what grep already does so well. I thought we just needed to extract the final lines from errlog and feed them into the grep command nes had already supplied.
Hi,
I need idea about this, say I have this line:
05 21 * * 0,6 /user/clean.desktop.sh > /tmp/desktop_rpt 2>&1

05 21 * * 0,6 /user/clean.desktop.sh >... (1 Reply)
Hi,
When we "grep" for a word in a file, it returns the lines containing the word that we searched for. Is there a way to display only the words and not the entire line containing them.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to match records using awk which contain only one occurance of my string, I know how to match one or more (+) but matching only one is eluding me without developing some convoluted bit of code. I was hoping there would be some simple pattern matching thing similar to '+' but... (9 Replies)
Folks, is it possible to display only words with grep (or any built-in ultility)?

Hi!
I'm trying to create a shell script to parse a file which might have multiple lines matching a pattern (i.e. containing some word).
I need to return all lines matching the pattern, but stripping the contents of that line until the pattern is matched
For example, if my input file was

look
LOOK(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOOK(1)NAME
look -- display lines beginning with a given string
SYNOPSIS
look [-dfa] [-t termchar] string [file]
DESCRIPTION
The look utility displays any lines in file which contain string as a prefix. As look performs a binary search, the lines in file must be
sorted (where sort(1) got the same options -d and/or -f that look is invoked with).
If file is not specified, the file /usr/share/dict/words is used, only alphanumeric characters are compared and the case of alphabetic char-
acters is ignored.
Options:
-d Dictionary character set and order, i.e. only alphanumeric characters are compared. (On by default if no file specified).
-f Ignore the case of alphabetic characters. (On by default if no file specified).
-a Use the alternate dictionary /usr/share/dict/web2
-t Specify a string termination character, i.e. only the characters in string up to and including the first occurrence of termchar are
compared.
The look utility exits 0 if one or more lines were found and displayed, 1 if no lines were found, and >1 if an error occurred.
FILES
/usr/share/dict/words the dictionary
/usr/share/dict/web2 the alternate dictionary
SEE ALSO grep(1), sort(1)COMPATIBILITY
The original manual page stated that tabs and blank characters participated in comparisons when the -d option was specified. This was incor-
rect and the current man page matches the historic implementation.
HISTORY
Look appeared in Version 7 AT&T Unix.
AVAILABILITY
The look command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
