Do you think it would be possible to make a bash script - new command

mygrep

that would use regular expressions to track "Binary file..." at the beginning and "matches" at the end and replace it with given strings (for example "Found" instead of "Binary file..." and "End" instead of "matches") Smilie

thx in advance Smilie

Code:
command | sed "s/^.*aretai\([^ ]*\) .*/\1/"

Replace command by the actual command which produce the following text
Code:
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test1.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test2.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test3.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test4.txt matches

mygrep
Code:
replacement1=$1
replacement2=$2
sed "s/^Binary file/$replacement1/;s/matches$/$replacement2/" file

Code:
mygrep Found End

Re:
thx,

It works v.good. Except there are some files that r matched and r not Binary.
../projects/test.txt:test

I tried to modify sed command, but failed.
Let me know if this is possible

OK:

Code:
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test/test.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test/test1.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test/test2.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test/test3.txt matches
Binary file /opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test/test4.txt matches
/opt/users/aretai/test/projects/test.txt:test

The last line is not a binary file but a file created in vi. Output I'd like to generate is:

Code:
test/test.txt
test/test1.txt
test/test2.txt
test/test3.txt
test/test4.txt
test.txt:test

Then I'd like to define mygrep command so that user could run it like this
Code:
mygrep 'test'

and he (or she) would get:

Found test/test.txt End
Found test/test1.txt End
Found test/test2.txt End
Found test/test3.txt End
...
Found test.txt:test End

thx for help

Code:
replacement1=Found
replacement2=End
sed -e "/^Binary/! {s/^/$replacement1 /;s/$/ $replacement2/;s,/.*/,,}" -e "/Binary/{s/^Binary file/$replacement1/;s/matches$/$replacement2/;s,/.*$1/,$1/,;}" f

Re:
Have I missed anything?

s,/.*$1/,$1/,;}" f

What does f at the end mean. And is it for my own command - i.e. mygrep. Can you tell me the steps to code it? Like: where mygrep should be stored?
Do I have to use bash? vi mygrep.sh if so how it can be run by users?

mygrep 'test'?

just some more info your answers r v.good
