Ubuntu :: Using Grep With Changing Expressions?
Mar 20, 2011how to use grep with an expression that is constantly changing... basically this is what I am trying to do:
Code: watch "mpstat -P ALL | grep -e '`date +%r`'" which, should show me my CPU usage updated every couple seconds. The grep is being used to omit lines that aren't needed (all the useful lines start with the current time.) Problem is, it seems to execute the 'date +%r' command once.
I would like grep to execute the date command every time the watch command updates.
EDIT: I've found a workaround by putting the
Code: mpstat -P ALL | grep -e "`date +%r`" All in a shell file (that I called cpustat.sh), and then executing watch ./cpustat.sh
Would still like to know if there is an actual solution without having to create a seperate file (and preferably in one line). I have tried using a function to do the mpstat and grep part, but apparently watch doesn't play nice with functions

Ubuntu :: Copy Files/folders With GREP?
Jul 1, 2011I'm attempting to find a particular word wherever it appears within a massive directory listing of teeny tiny text files -- and then copy all files containing this word into a "staging" directory.

Code:
cp `grep -ir 'word' *` output
how to copy all these text files and have them retain some sort of directory structure?

Ubuntu :: Grep Script That Finds Searched Keyword
May 16, 2010I need to write a script that can search up to 3 parameters and find all files containing those words. then display them and the amount of hits it got.if the first parameter exists, then we can assume we are looking for the word supplied.if the second parameter exists, then we are looking for files with both keywords.if third parameter exists test the second parameter for the values ('and', 'or', '-v') and search accordingly. These are the only values accepted as the the second one when 3 parameters are present.
lastly, if there are zero or more than three parameters echo as an error and when 3 parameters have been entered we echo an error when the second parameter is not one of the following: 'and', 'or', '-v'.
