How to handle grepping variable data containing wildcards?
I have a lot of files with keywords and unique names. I'm using a shell script to refer to a simple pattern file with comma separated values in order to match on certain keywords. The problem is that I don't understand how to handle the wildcard values when I want to skip over the unique names.
Here is an example of the data patterns in the files:
An example of the pattern file:
The shell script operates like this:
The result looks like this:
[matches]
[no matches]
I get correct matches on the patterns that do not use a wildcards, so I know the script is working in that respect.
The wildcard patterns do not work, and it looks like the wildcards themselves are getting mangled somehow. In this example, the pattern has changed from "abcd mnop .* efgh ijkl" to "abcd mnop . .. efgh ijkl"
Thanks

Is there anyway you can grep using multiple wildcards? When I run the below line the results return fine;
grep 12345 /usr/local/production/soccermatchplus/distributor/clients/*/out/fixtures.xml | awk -F/ '{print $8}'
However ideally, I need it to grep for;

and then run grep $searchThis... (6 Replies)
Hello,
I would like for the user to input the date for a particular log file, then have the input sent to a variable, which is then used via grep to extra the logs for the specific date the user request.
I did some searching, but I still don't understand why I'm not seeing any result.

sethead
sethead(1) General Commands Manual sethead(1)Name
sethead - Set FITS or IRAF header keyword values
Synopsis
sethead [-dknv][r letter] <FITS or IRAF file> kw1=val1 kw2=val2 ... kwn=valuen
Description
Set parameters in the header of a FITS or IRAF image. If the keywords do not already exist, they are added at the end of the header. Val-
ues are assumed to be numeric if they contain no alphabetic characters and right-aligned. Otherwise they are left-aligned after the equals
sign, and padded by spaces to a minimum of 8 characters. To set keywords in a list of files, substitute @<listfile> for the file names on
the command line. To set a lot of keywords, put them, one per line, in a file and substitute @<keylistfile> on the command line. If two @
commands are present, the program will figure out which contains file names and which contains keywords. Lines in a keyword list file
which do not contain an = are ignored.
Options-h Write HISTORY line into output header with sethead version, current date and time, and names of keywords set.
-k Write SETHEAD keyword into output header with sethead version, current date and time, and names of keywords set. If a SETHEAD key-
word already exists, move the old value to a HISTORY line before writing the new value
-n Write a new file with an added "e" before the extension.
-r letter
Rename existing keywords whose values are being reset by prepending the character "letter". Drop the last character if the changed
keyword is already 8 characters long.
-v Print confirmations of each parameter setting
