How to grep a pattern having value greater than 123 in a file?
Hi,

I have a dynamically growing ascii file which has large data (both text and digits). I need to grep those lines having value greater than '123'. These numeric values may appear at anywhere in the line, hence I could not use awk to split to columns.

So, please help me with the grep regular expression pattern for this.

Try this code:

Code:
 
grep "12[4-9][0-9]*" filename

Try:
Code:
perl -ne 'print if grep {$_>123} /(\d{3,})/g' file

Thanks, but this suggestion locks down the first 2 digits should be '12'. But I want to get any value that is greater than 123

Is that possible to do this using only 'grep'?

This should work provided if you have the number seperated by space

Code:
grep -v -e " [0-9] " -e " [0-9][0-9] " -e " 12[0-3] " filename

I am trying to eliminate all one,two,three digit numbers but greater than 123

But, this fails suppose if the file is having a line like this:
"rdate NTPserver login 115 /var/log".

This line is not supposed to be shown in the output as 115 < 123. But, it is still being shown Smilie

Code:
# echo "rdate NTPserver login 140 /var/log"|sed '/\b0*[0-9]\b\|\b0*[0-9][0-9]\b\|0*1[1-2][0-3]\|0*1[0-1][0-9]/d'
rdate NTPserver login 140 /var/log

Code:
# echo "rdate NTPserver login 121 /var/log"|sed '/\b0*[0-9]\b\|\b0*[0-9][0-9]\b\|0*1[1-2][0-3]\|0*1[0-1][0-9]/d'
