I'm afraid you can't remove the search pattern from grep's result. Either use a different pattern ( e.g. "[ttp" ), or use a different tool ( like sed or awk )

Hi,
I'm struggling with a regex that would match a 'b' that follows an 'a' and is at the end of a string of non-white characters. For example:
Line 1: aba abab b abb aab bab baa
I can find the right strings but I'm lacking knowledge of how to "discard" the bits that precede bs.... (2 Replies)

I am trying to match a pattern exactly in a shell script. I have tried two methods

perl -ne '/\bmpath${CURR_MP}\b/ and print' /var/tmp/multipath
Both these methods require that I use the escape character. I am guessing that is why... (8 Replies)

"a?c" should mean either ac or c. This should mean the first line is a match. Yet its not happening. I have tried with -e option in grep, with... (1 Reply)

GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)
NAME
grep - search a file for a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [ option ... ] pattern [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Grep searches the input files (standard input default) for lines (with newlines excluded) that match the pattern, a regular expression as
defined in regexp(6). Normally, each line matching the pattern is `selected', and each selected line is copied to the standard output.
The options are
-c Print only a count of matching lines.
-h Do not print file name tags (headers) with output lines.
-i Ignore alphabetic case distinctions. The implementation folds into lower case all letters in the pattern and input before interpre-
tation. Matched lines are printed in their original form.
-l (ell) Print the names of files with selected lines; don't print the lines.
-L Print the names of files with no selected lines; the converse of -l.
-n Mark each printed line with its line number counted in its file.
-s Produce no output, but return status.
-v Reverse: print lines that do not match the pattern.
Output lines are tagged by file name when there is more than one input file. (To force this tagging, include /dev/null as a file name
argument.)
Care should be taken when using the shell metacharacters $*[^|()= and newline in pattern; it is safest to enclose the entire expression in
single quotes '...'.

SEE ALSO

DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is null if any lines are selected, or non-null when no lines are selected or an error occurs.
