Hi Aia,

Thanks! That works well. I am not familiar with find, how would you add a grep in there?

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to have the command strings exclude particular files?

Here is what I am currently writing:

strings *20161212*


It prints all files in the directory, which is...

Thanks Chubler! This expands my horizon and is easy to use. Any idea on how not having to have to input 10, 11 & 20 at all? Perhaps a range from 00 to 99? So that whatever number is at position...

Hi,

Thank you all for your replies. My apologies if I was not not specific enough, I will do my best. No, this is not homework, just a bunch of files I need to analyse for one of my hobbies. I...

Hi Lucas,

I don't change it for fun!

it is because sometimes the pattern changes: 3078= and 4=* can be anywhere on one line :(

I was only trying to find out why what you wrote returned so...

Hello Lucas,

Thanks again for your help!

It works with data1-2.txt, but then if I change '3078=' to '5022=", it returns the below:



I tried to re-arrange the command but with no success :(

Adding expected output:

Sample files!

Hi Lucas,

Sorry it does not work :D
