General :: Using Grep With -r Option
Feb 19, 2011
I have on my desktop around five java files. I also created a java file in directory Viti, located in desktop.
Since all java files contain string "class", I practice my usage of grep with the following:
And this works fine. However, when I type the following:
I expect to be shown the file that's located in my Viti directory, too, but it won't show it.

I was trying to use the grep command with -e option to test some regular expressions with it but to surprise not all the meta characters were being recognized by the grep engine, how ever egrep works perfectly fine.
For example : The following egrp command works fine:

I know grep can search recursively (ie through all subdirectories to the bottom of the directory tree), but is it possible to ask grep to only search say, 3 levels down? That means the current directory, any directories in the current directory, and within any directories within those?

I need to kind of grep within grep. My input file would be something like:
[Code]....
and I need to find the first occurrence of hello before MY PATTERN (hello 9008 in this case), so the output should be:
[Code]....

I need to find file from ls - l by using grep and certain regexp.
In particular I need greep to see certain file ending, like let's say .txt but only using regex.
So it should be something like
ls -l | grep '^.+.txt$'
But that doesn't seem to work for me.

How can I use grep expressions so that i can find strings like the ones bellow:
New York, NY
Virginia, VA
Oregon, OR
As you can see each city starts with capital letter then it follows up with a comma, and then with the Abbreviation of the city. I used :
Code: grep -w '[A-Z].*[a-z][,][' '][A-Z][A-Z]' filename But i get no results.

I searched and I found a few threads on this but none answered my question really.I'm using:
Code:
curl www.foo.com | grep '<h2>.*.</h2>'
Basically I want to extract all instances of
Code:
<h2>Blah blah blah</h2>
from the page source, but it's not giving me that, it gives me <h2>.. followed by a loads of other stuff that I don't want. I haven't used wildcards with grep before so I don't really know whether I'm doing it right or not.

Let me *try* and explain what I'm trying to do, and keep in mind aside from a little command line stuff I'm a beginner to any of what I'm asking about.
I have a directory structure something like this:
Code:
/usr/local/chatlogs/
webserver1/
1.chatlog
2.chatlog
[Code]....
So that whatever was captured in the () in the first part of the statement would be used in the 1 in the back part of the statement for every n.chatlog that might be in any of the /webserver directories at that time.

any way we can change the delimiter that uses grep?
I think, by default, grep uses as the delimiter.

I forgot a lot of my command line. I am doing cat file | grep "error" and i would like it to show everything to the right of G:/ including G:/ if possible. I figure its an awk command but i dont know what. I tried awk '{print $8+}' but + does not work like i hoped and guessed.

I have a server hosting 100+ websites. I need to quickly identify which websites are configured with a database. There are way too many to manually check every website for a PHP file with a database name. So, I created a list of all databases from MySQL and put them in a text file. I then exported the text file to a shell variable and used it in a for loop.
bash variable
Code:
DBLIST=`cat dblist.txt`
Example of $DBLIST
Code:
db1 db_testing2 database_clientname production words4cheap
for loop
Code:
for db in $DBLIST; do find . -type "f" -iname "*.php" -exec grep -i $db '{}' ; -print; done
Note: my find statement starts searching at . which is the directory that contains all of my websites and their data, each website is setup in a sub directory, identified by it's domain name.
Example: I'm in /var/www. Beneath /var/www are a list of directories:
[URL]
However, this is taking too long (it's been running most of the day) and I was wondering if there wasn't an easier way to accomplish what I'm trying to achieve?

I have a file like this:
Code:
I need to search it backwards for "notable line" strings AND the first numeric string preceding that line. I've discovered that it's easy to search backwards by tac file | grep pattern, but how to tell grep to continue searching from where the pattern was found? In short, I want to make the output of the example above into this:
Code:
Or I must use another tool, like awk or sed? If so, how do I do so?

I tried to run one grep that excludes symlinks and pipe it into a second that searches for my pattern but I continue to get the recursive directory loop error. As a result (I think) my grep is incomplete as the search just loops between directories symlinked together.

I am attempting to recover a deleted text file. I used dd to make an image of the sectors on the hard drive which contained the data. Now, since I am not getting good results with foremost, and know all of the lines I'm looking for contain "Style", I want to grep the .img, but when I do it runs out of memory. I have tried the grep option -D, set to skip, and tried adding a 3GB swap to account for the 2.7G image. It still "exhausts" it's memory, and it seems to happen really quick now.this is the output of ulimit -a
Code:
root: $ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0

I'm writing a program that works with text files, and I'm trying to create some filters with grep. I have various questions here, so I'll number them for clarity.
1) First of all, I'd like to know what wc -w is actually returning. The word count is less than what gedit is counting in Document Statistics, so obviously gedit is counting something (like newlines) that wc -w is not
2) Secondly, I was wondering if there was a way to grep x number of words. I'm looking for something like the -m option, but returning a certain number of words instead of lines. For example, to find the first 2000 words, do something like grep -someoption 2000 ".*" or using {1,2000}.
3) Finally, I'm trying to filter out headers and footers of a text file but having no luck. The text files are Project Gutenberg files, so they have standardized headers and footers. Here's an example: [URL]...
The header starts with "The Project Gutenberg EBook of" and ends with the line containing "START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK" The footers begin with: "End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of" My problem is, grep can find:

What I am usinggrep -B 1 -A 2 "Installed" /var/log/updates.logInstead of tailing the log is there a way to grep all lines of the log with word Installed AND today's date? Also, what about grep lines of the log that contain a specific date and more than one word, by example : ('Installed' or 'Failed' on '2011-06-24')?
