[Solved] Text manipulation help
Hello Unix.com

How can I sort from a large email list only the emails that finish with .ca domain?

cat <list> | grep "\.ca\b" >> <new list> isnt working perfectly.

Any tips?

Best regards, Galford D. Weller

If it IS a list --
meaning the output is on a single line for each email:
Code:
awk '/\.ca$/' filename > newfilename
