Search Results

how can i use grep to search a file with a tab, for example


grep -l "Text<TAB>Text" *.txt

www.cygwin.com

what about
/etc/haltsys -d

I know this is a pretty simple while loop, but can you explain it?

thanks, that did it :)

also - the number pattern can be anywhere on the line in the second file so it needs to find the pattern then substitue the whole line in its place...

say i have file1

1
1
1
3
4
5

and file2

1 hello i am 1
2 hello i am 2
3 hello i am 3
4 hello i am 4
5 hello i am 5

when i grep this i need this result
1 hello i am 1
1 hello i...

say i have file1

1
1
1
3
4
5

and file2

1 hello i am 1
2 hello i am 2
3 hello i am 3
4 hello i am 4
5 hello i am 5

i run the script and it does nothing.

would if i could - im sure its useless if no one knows what it is - but it for work so, you know how that goes :D

can't post it.

tried that - when i try to run the script - i get "command not found" even after i did 755 on permissions. - disregard this one - forgot to set the perl directory. :D

no - the whole file does not match the list.

is that the exact command? say "hexlist" is the list file and "searchlist" is the search file, i typed:

grep -f hexlist searchlist > results

all it did was copy searchlist to results.

wow, thank you for the fast reply - i was looing all over the internet for how to do that with no avail. :)

I have 2 files, in one file is a list of hex numbers, the other is what i need matched. Is it possible for me to specify to grep the list and have it go through the second file for each item in the...
