Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Python: Suppress lines not substituted Post 302980704 by zaxxon on Thursday 1st of September 2016 05:19:45 AM

Thank you, itkamaraj. I had it tried so far with match() and search() and it didn't work.
Now I just noticed why - I used:

Code:
re.match('<partial-pattern>', ...

...where I assumed I can use just a part of a pattern like when you use Linux/Unix grep; this seems not working so I have to use at least something like:

Code:
re.match('.*<partial-pattern>.*', ...


cheers

NAME
grep - search a file for lines containing a given pattern SYNOPSIS
grep [-elnsv] pattern [file] ... OPTIONS
-e -e pattern is the same as pattern -c Print a count of lines matched -i Ignore case -l Print file names, no lines -n Print line numbers -s Status only, no printed output -v Select lines that do not match EXAMPLES
grep mouse file # Find lines in file containing mouse grep [0-9] file # Print lines containing a digit DESCRIPTION
Grep searches one or more files (by default, stdin) and selects out all the lines that match the pattern. All the regular expressions accepted by ed and mined are allowed. In addition, + can be used instead of * to mean 1 or more occurrences, ? can be used to mean 0 or 1 occurrences, and | can be used between two regular expressions to mean either one of them. Parentheses can be used for grouping. If a match is found, exit status 0 is returned. If no match is found, exit status 1 is returned. If an error is detected, exit status 2 is returned. SEE ALSO
