Search Results

No spaces. What if I needed to search exactly for a variable?

for example, x=1000, and I needed a grep statement to only return lines in a file containing exactly x

This seems like an easy question, but I can't find an answer already posted.

I want a command to return all of the lines in a file containing exactly a string

I tried
grep -x "372701" x.txt ...

This may be a repetitive or simple question, but I have a long running code, which uses a grep with a big argument, and i was wondering if there was a way to replace all of my greps with awk....here...

Howdy,

I need a command which will find all of the characters in a line before the first .

I am using Korn

Thank you

no luck with the grep expression with single or double quotes

here is the entire expression im working with:


u=$(ls /XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/I3 | grep -E "\.02.{6}\.02")
echo $u
for i in $u
do...

Should have been more clear about the terms of search.

Hi everybody,

Fairly simple question here:

I need an awk, sed, or grep command that will find the same string multiple times on one...

does that work with directories as well? I tried using this:
u=$(ls /XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/I3 | grep -E '\.02.{6}\.02')

to find all the lines which contained .02 .02 in that directory, to no avail.

Hi everybody,

Fairly simple question here:

I'm sorry, maybe I used the wrong syntax on those commands, however, neither of them returned just the filenames.
I'm looking to give the script a directory, and search all the filenames in the...

Howdy,

I am trying to search for a string within a directory, and then return the filename only, without the directory itself.

I am using korn shell and the command

Thank you, the while loop is working quite well for me, perhaps you could also help me with the problem I am having now, if its not too much trouble:

while read a b c

Hi all,
I have a file im reading with a for loop using:

for i in $(cat filename)
do
etc.
done

the original file is 3 columns, this method prints it out into 3 rows, and i would like to...

So the proper syntax would then be:

's/\.\00/\.\/'


?

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to replace a string with another string using sed. Problem is, using

sed 's/.00/./'

it even replaces 00. with .

I need to only replace exactly .00 with .

My...

It seems as though that now works, perhaps a syntax error on my part at some point. I would like to use that argument to make some changes to filenames, however it appears as though I have some other...

Hi all,

Just looking for a simple if statement that searches for a substring within a varaible, and then performs some function.

Problem is that I need it to work in Korn shell

$var =...

Excellent! that is perfect.
And one last thing! I am trying to replace one variable (string) with antoher variable using:
sed "s/$x/$y/g"

however, it seems as though this is incorrect, as it...

Actually now it is just the command to remove leading zeroes from all filenames in a directory.

They look like this:
XXX03XXX.00XXXXXXX.XXXXXXXX

And I want to remove just the leading zeroes...

Hi!
I think my last post was a little confusing, so I will try an post a sample this time.
I have a script which is supposed to output two columns of a file to a different file, then take the first...

I tried to work that in, but I suppose my issue was a little different than I explained it, or can be solved more logically than I tried to solve it.

I have a file with 3 columns like so....
