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 am interested in using the grep method in the shell of my CentOS machine to obtain patterns from a file and use them to search through another file and highlight the patterns found. For example:
pattern file:
one
two
three
test file:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAoneAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAthreeAAAAAAAAAAAA
I want to know that is there any method to grep a particular data from a file without using the "cat --- | grep ' ' " command....I need to use a system call for this functionality.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using File::Find to go through a very large tree. I am looking for all xml files and open only those that contain a tag <Updated>. I then want to capture the contents of two tags <Old> and <New>.
My problem is, after I open the file and do the first grep for <Updated> (which does work), I am unable to grep again unless I close the file and open it.
I did something like this:
Quote:
find(&check, $dir);
sub check {
if ($_ =~ /.xml/){
open(FILE,"$_");
if (grep{/Updated/} <FILE>){ # <-- works

I have a huge binary log file. There are lets say 4 id's that I want to find in a log file. I know that those 4 id's will be present in the log file and I also know in what order they will be present. I want to find 1st id from the log then 2nd id and then third id and so on..
Simple/inefficient solution is: Loop through the id's and then grep in the log file. Problem with this solution is for each id grep will search from the beginning of the file.
Better/efficient solution would be: Sine I know the order in which id's will be present in the log file. Loop through id's, grep 1st id and then move on to grep 2nd id and so on...this way I can grep all id's in one pass. Is this solution possible ?
I have 500000 + values to find in log files and I have to find efficient solution for it.
I'm trying to math all class references in a C++ file using grep with regular expression. I'm trying to know if a specific include is usuless or not, so I have to know if there is a refence in cpp. I wrote this RE that searches for a reference from class ABCZ, but unfortunately it isn't working as I espected:
grep -E '^[^(/*)(//)].*[^a-zA-Z]ABCZ[]*[*(<:;,{& ]'
^[^(/*)(//)] don't math comments in the begging of the line ( // or /* )
.* followed by any character
[code]....
Well, I can get patterns like this:
class Test: public ABCZ{
class Test: public ABCZ {
class Test : public ABCZ<T>

I need a loop that pulls out the user name into a variable and then pulls out the LastUpdate field into another variable so I can then perform a comparison against the last update field. Requirements are AIX tools including AWK, SED and Perl I am writing a script to check AIX users password expiration dates and if they are within the alerting period (ie. 7 days etc) it will email the user. I will release the full script into the public domain once completed. The text file I want to parse is formatted like:

colettel:
password = XSON0m4SdIQDw
lastupdate = 1260829398

I am trying to compare a list of patterns from one file and grep them against another file and print out only the unique patterns. Unfortunately these files are so large that they have yet to run to completion. Here's the command that I used:
Code: grep -L -f file_one.txt file_two.txt > output.output Here's some example data:
Code:
>FQ4HLCS01BMR4N

>FQ4HLCS01B40PB
>FQ4HLCS01BT43K
>FQ4HLCS01CB736

how to increase efficiency or use another command?

how I can do the following in a bash script?
1) Load all *.log files into an array variable
2) Iterate through the array, and do a "grep" on each of the file to see if it contains a "word".
I am trying to monitor how long an ldap search takes and maybe notify or something that a search takes longer than say 10 seconds.

I'm using Zabbix on which I can use give bash command to the agent.This 1-liner will give me all the interfaces with their IPv4 addresses.I have a 2nd expression which returns a checksum so I can detect a difference whenever someone deletes/adds/changes an ipv4 interface.This is the output on my Ubuntu-server:

How can i use grep (or any other command) to check for lines that begin with N number.
E.g. I want to print out commands (from history), but only from the command number 50 until #200.
This one doesn't work:
Code:
history | grep "^[50-200]"
Should print out something like:
Code:
50 cd ~/Desktop

1) I need to search a field value to check for exact 0. If the number is 0, it should throw error.
The line to be searched looks like as below. "Output Rows [1], Affected Rows [1], Applied Rows [1], Rejected Rows [0]"
Here I have to search whether the affected rows is 0. But the code below picks up other values also (lie 10, 20.. etc). How do we write to get an exact match for 0? Code: affected=`echo ${line} | cut -f6 -d" " `
affectedcount='echo ${affected} |grep 0 ` 2) Also, I need to check whether the rejected rows > 0
Code: rejected=`echo ${line} | cut -f12 -d" " `
rejectedcount='echo {rejected} |grep [1-9]`
3)Can we combine these two statements in a better way to get the desired results?
I have a file:
979798707
787862348
766428634
I want to see if all the records in the file are present in the contents of the files of a particular directory.
Basically I want to say if grep doesn't return anything, then report.
For example in /tmp dir I have 4 files and flast 2 values (787862348 and 766428634) are present in the files of /tmp dir, but first one (979798707) is not. I want to echo that in a reporting file.
something like:
while read line
do
# if ! grep -rl $line /tmp
echo $line >> are_not_present
done < "myFile"
How do I achieve " if ! grep -rl $line /tmp"? That is, if the line is found by grep, then grep will print the output, but if grep does'nt find it, it will print nothing. How can I check if grep didn't find it (i.e. printed nothing)?
Can you find an alternative for Code: wc -l using grep?

I am using Sun 5.9.
I am putting the value "Feb 10" in variable 'c' here.
Code:
-bash-3.00$ c=`date | awk '{print $2 " " $3}'`
-bash-3.00$ echo $c
Feb 10
But when I am grep-ing value of 'c', I am getting this error.
Code:
-bash-3.00$ ls -lrth | grep $c
grep: can't open 10
This is because there is a space between "Feb" and "10".
I want grep multiple files:
let abc.1.abc.2,abc.3,abc.4
I use grep <pattern> abc.* to read the files. But here grep read files in the order of 1,2,3,4 . I want to to grep the files in reverse order like 1st the abc.4 file will be read and abc.1 file will be last.
Is this possible ?
I am trying to use a shell script to find a string in a file and do something when found. code...
What should happen is pppd will start in a different process and stream it's output to pppdout. pppdout should be created in the current folder. Then the script should periodically check the pppdout file for the string Script (which eventually will appear, some seconds later) and when found exit the script. Ultimately the script will do something useful when the text is found. However, the output from the program is a repeating: 'scriptname.sh: 12: FOUND: not found'
Where scriptname.sh would be the name of your script and 12 refers to the line with 'done'.
Why does grep not find the text, or at least why deos my script not check the grep output correctly?
Would like to know how to cat the below output.
Code:
grep userlist_file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf | cut -c15-
Below which is the output for above command.
[code]...
So For example I run this command:
Code:
But want to gerp / cut it in such a way that it only displays
Code:
Now the thing is that these 3 lines are not static.. there can be N number of lines there.. the only thing is that I want the command / output NOT to display the first line but the rest of the n lines ..
I have a file which contains a line like this:SERVER=10.205.110.19 How can I cut out the IP and assign it to a variable?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a bash script and I'm having trouble with it.I have a list of DNS entires from a file called zoneExport.txt.Than I want to parse a log file to see if that DNS entry has been queried for. So I'm running a grep command and trying to save it into a variable. What I'm looking for is a variable ($varGrepQ) that has the number of matches for the grep query. I will then run this through an if statement and do some things from there..
But my problem right now is with this grep query. It keeps outputting '0' even when I know there are records in that file and when I run the same query on the command line I get the actual count. My thought is that the $record variable is not passing right.
