Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I want to print all the occurrences for a particular pattern from a file. The catch is that the pattern search is partial and if any word in the file contains the pattern, that complete word has to be printed. If there are multiple words matching the pattern on a specific line, then all the words needs to be printed.

e.g. file abc.txt has below contents

Code:

line1: The file is myfile1111 and  myfile01                                     
line2: the file is thisismyfile                                                 
line3: filename is myfile3 and myfile5 and myfile6

Pattern search for keyword "myfile" the output should be:

Code:

myfile1111
myfile01
thisismyfile
myfile3
myfile5
myfile6

I tried below but it just displays the exact match and not the complete word containing the pattern. Please help.

Code:

grep -o myfile abc.txt

Use regexp:-

Code:

grep -o "[^ ]*myfile[^ ]*" file

Thanks Yoda. This is what I was looking for.
