Engage the Linux command--grep

The grep command in a Linux system is a powerful text search tool that uses regular expressions to search for text and print matching lines. The grep full name is global Regular expression Print, which represents the globally regular expression version, and its use rights are for all users.

grep works in such a way that it searches for a string template in one or more files. If the template includes spaces, it must be referenced, and all strings after the template are treated as filenames. The results of the search are sent to standard output without affecting the contents of the original file.

grep can be used for Shell scripting, because grep describes the status of the search by returning a status value, or 0 if the template search succeeds, or 1 if the search is unsuccessful, or 2 if the searched file does not exist. We can use these return values to do some automated text processing work.

1. Command format:

grep [option] Pattern file

2. Command function:

A specific character used for filtering/searching. The use of regular expressions can be used in conjunction with a variety of commands, the use of very flexible.

3. Command parameters:

-A--text #不要忽略二进制的数据.

-a< Displays rows >--after-context=< displays the number of rows > #除了显示符合范本样式的那一列之外, and displays the contents after that line.

-B--byte-offset #在显示符合样式的那一行之前, indicating the number of the first character of the line.

-b< Displays rows >--before-context=< displays the number of rows > #除了显示符合样式的那一行之外, and displays the contents before the line.

-C--count #计算符合样式的列数.

-c< Display rows >--context=< Displays the number of rows > or-< Displays the number of rows > #除了显示符合样式的那一行之外, and displays the contents before the line.

-D < action >--directories=< action > #当指定要查找的是目录而非文件时, this parameter must be used, otherwise the grep command returns information and stops the action.

-e< template style >--regexp=< template style > #指定字符串做为查找文件内容的样式.

-E--extended-regexp #将样式为延伸的普通表示法来使用.

-f< Rules file >--file=< rule File > #指定规则文件, with one or more rule styles, that grep finds the content of the file that matches the rule condition, in the form of a rule style per line.

-F--fixed-regexp #将样式视为固定字符串的列表.

-G--basic-regexp #将样式视为普通的表示法来使用.

-H--no-filename #在显示符合样式的那一行之前, does not indicate the name of the file to which the line belongs.

-H--with-filename #在显示符合样式的那一行之前 that represents the name of the file to which the row belongs.

-I.--ignore-case #忽略字符大小写的差别.

-L--file-with-matches #列出文件内容符合指定的样式的文件名称.

-L--files-without-match #列出文件内容不符合指定的样式的文件名称.

-N--line-number #在显示符合样式的那一行之前, indicating the number of columns in the row.

-Q--quiet or--silent #不显示任何信息.

-R--recursive #此参数的效果和指定 the "-D recurse" parameter.

-S--no-messages #不显示错误信息.

-V--revert-match #显示不包含匹配文本的所有行.

-V--version #显示版本信息.

-W--word-regexp #只显示全字符合的列.

-X--line-regexp #只显示全列符合的列.

-y #此参数的效果和指定 the same as the "-i" parameter.

4. Rule expression:

Rule Expressions for grep:

^ #锚定行的开始 such as: ' ^grep ' matches all lines that begin with grep.

$ #锚定行的结束 such as: ' grep$ ' matches all lines that end with grep.

. #匹配一个非换行符的字符 such as: ' GR.P ' matches gr followed by an arbitrary character followed by P.

* #匹配零个或多个先前字符 such as: ' *grep ' matches all one or more spaces followed by the line of grep.

. * #一起用代表任意字符.

[] #匹配一个指定范围内的字符, such as ' [Gg]rep ' matches grep and grep.

[^] #匹配一个不在指定范围内的字符, such as: ' [^a-fh-z]rep ' matches the beginning of a letter that does not contain a-r and t-z, immediately following the line of the Rep.

\(.. \) #标记匹配字符, such as ' \ (love\) ', Love is marked as 1.

\< #锚定单词的开始, such as: ' \<grep ' matches lines that contain words that begin with grep.

\> #锚定单词的结束, such as ' grep\> ', matches lines that contain words ending with grep.

X\{m\} #重复字符x, M times, such as: ' 0\{5\} ' matches rows containing 5 O.

X\{m,\} #重复字符x, at least m times, such as: ' O\{5,\} ' matches rows with at least 5 O.

X\{m,n\} #重复字符x, at least m times, not more than n times, such as: ' O\{5,10\} ' matches rows of 5--10 O.

\w #匹配文字和数字字符, that is, [a-za-z0-9], such as: ' G\w*p ' is matched with a G followed by 0 or more literal or numeric characters, followed by P.

\w #\w The reverse form, matching one or more non-word characters, such as the dot period, and so on.

\b #单词锁定符, such as: ' \bgrep\b ' only matches grep.

POSIX characters:

POSIX (The Portable Operating System Interface) adds special character classes to the character encodings in different countries, such as [: Alnum:] is another notation for [a-za-z0-9]. You can place them in the [] number to be a regular expression, such as [a-za-z0-9] or [[: Alnum:]]. grep under Linux supports POSIX character classes in addition to Fgrep.

[: Alnum:] #文字数字字符

[: Alpha:] #文字字符

[:d igit:] #数字字符

[: Graph:] #非空字符 (non-whitespace, control characters)

[: Lower:] #小写字符

[: Cntrl:] #控制字符

[:p rint:] #非空字符 (including spaces)

[:p UNCT:] #标点符号

[: Space:] #所有空白字符 (New line, Space, TAB)

[: Upper:] #大写字符

[: Xdigit:] #十六进制数字 (0-9,A-F,A-F)
