You can't change the output format of egrep using egrep, although if you could directly grep the files instead of reformatting them using exiftool, you could just use:
to print the lines containing Camera Model Name preceded by the name of the file that contained that line.
But you can use another filter to join lines together at the end of your current pipeline. For example:
or you could replace the egrep with something that can select the desired lines and do some reformatting similar to what Ravinder was suggesting:
Hi all,
I have an input file that I am pulling out certain phases using the following commands:
cat /nodes.txt | egrep -e 'OSVersion|PrimaryNodeName'
Currently the output looks like this:
OSVersion - 5.0
PrimaryNodeName - serverA
OSVersion - 5.0
PrimaryNodeName - serverB

Hi,
I am wondering if it's possible to link multiple patterns with egrep.
Here here is what I am doing :
grep -v ";;" | grep -v ARC_TIME | grep -v \* | grep -v STAS0 Can I do all of this by invoking egrep just once ?
Thanks (4 Replies)
hi,
i'm using egrep -i to search thru some text files for keywords (also stored in a file).
egrep does wildcard search aka %keyword%
as long as the keyword is found, it will be spool to a file
meaning if keyword is 'xyz'

The order of egrep output seems to be as they occur in the file. How do I get the order as requested? For e.g.
file contents:
AAA
EEE
GGG
egrep 'GGG|AAA|EEE' file
gives
AAA
EEE
GGG
instead of
GGG
AAA

grep
GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)NAME
grep, egrep, fgrep - search a file for a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [ option ] ... expression [ file ] ...
egrep [ option ] ... [ expression ] [ file ] ...
fgrep [ option ] ... [ strings ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Commands of the grep family search the input files (standard input default) for lines matching a pattern. Normally, each line found is
copied to the standard output. Grep patterns are limited regular expressions in the style of ex(1); it uses a compact nondeterministic
algorithm. Egrep patterns are full regular expressions; it uses a fast deterministic algorithm that sometimes needs exponential space.
Fgrep patterns are fixed strings; it is fast and compact. The following options are recognized.
-v All lines but those matching are printed.
-x (Exact) only lines matched in their entirety are printed (fgrep only).
-c Only a count of matching lines is printed.
-l The names of files with matching lines are listed (once) separated by newlines.
-n Each line is preceded by its relative line number in the file.
-b Each line is preceded by the block number on which it was found. This is sometimes useful in locating disk block numbers by con-
text.
-i The case of letters is ignored in making comparisons -- that is, upper and lower case are considered identical. This applies to
grep and fgrep only.
-s Silent mode. Nothing is printed (except error messages). This is useful for checking the error status.
-w The expression is searched for as a word (as if surrounded by `<' and `>', see ex(1).) (grep only)
-e expression
Same as a simple expression argument, but useful when the expression begins with a -.
-f file
The regular expression (egrep) or string list (fgrep) is taken from the file.
In all cases the file name is shown if there is more than one input file. Care should be taken when using the characters $ * [ ^ | ( ) and
in the expression as they are also meaningful to the Shell. It is safest to enclose the entire expression argument in single quotes ' '.
Fgrep searches for lines that contain one of the (newline-separated) strings.
Egrep accepts extended regular expressions. In the following description `character' excludes newline:
A followed by a single character other than newline matches that character.
The character ^ matches the beginning of a line.
The character $ matches the end of a line.
A . (period) matches any character.
A single character not otherwise endowed with special meaning matches that character.
A string enclosed in brackets [] matches any single character from the string. Ranges of ASCII character codes may be abbreviated
as in `a-z0-9'. A ] may occur only as the first character of the string. A literal - must be placed where it can't be mistaken as
a range indicator.
A regular expression followed by an * (asterisk) matches a sequence of 0 or more matches of the regular expression. A regular
expression followed by a + (plus) matches a sequence of 1 or more matches of the regular expression. A regular expression followed
by a ? (question mark) matches a sequence of 0 or 1 matches of the regular expression.
Two regular expressions concatenated match a match of the first followed by a match of the second.
Two regular expressions separated by | or newline match either a match for the first or a match for the second.
A regular expression enclosed in parentheses matches a match for the regular expression.
The order of precedence of operators at the same parenthesis level is [] then *+? then concatenation then | and newline.
Ideally there should be only one grep, but we don't know a single algorithm that spans a wide enough range of space-time tradeoffs.

Exit status is 0 if any matches are found, 1 if none, 2 for syntax errors or inaccessible files.
BUGS
Lines are limited to 256 characters; longer lines are truncated.
