Help with Grep pattern
Hello Admin,
i need a grep pattern for the following requirement, Could you pls help.

Used Grep pattern : egrep "^[+-]([^+-].*|)$" inputfile

i have input file:
Code:
+
++++
-
------
+jfsfkjf
+ * @param node <96> node to generate the configuration file(s) for
+ * @param dir <96> root directory under which to place the generated files.
+ *              If active configuration is modified at run-time this will point
+ *              to /etc. Otherwise it may point to a saved configuration volume.
+ * @param ptr <96> event receiver handle, can be used to e.g. query the events
+ *              occurred in the context of the last transaction.
+ * @param ldap_handle <96> handle of an active LDAP connection.

output of the grep should contain all the lines of input file except :
Code:
++++
-----

But my grep pattern is not able to get the "@param" lines, Could yo upls help me improving the grep pattern to include that as well.

On my ubuntu, I get the same result with
Code:
egrep "^[+-]([^+-].*|)$"
and
awk '!/^\+\+\+\+|^-----/'

I can't tell whether the shifts between bold and non-bold is supposed to show us something in the output and if it is an indication that your input file has markings at the start of each bold line to make it appear in bold.

You have shown us two output files, but you haven't shown us the input file. Without knowing what the input is, it is hard to guess why you think the output produced is incorrect. The output you showed in the last message certainly didn't come from the file in your 1st posting in this thread.

And, PLEASE use CODE tags when showing us sample code, sample input, and sample output.
