When using Linux, file lookups are often required. The commands you find are primarily find and grep. Two commands are of a district.
The Difference : (1) The Find command is based on the attributes of the file , such as file name, file size, owner, owning group, whether it is empty, access time, modification time, etc.
(2) grep is a search based on the contents of the file , and each line of the file is matched in a given pattern (patter).
A. Find command
basic format:Find path expression
1. Search by file name
(1) Find/-name httpd.conf #在根目录下查找文件httpd. conf, which indicates that the entire hard drive is found
(2) Find/etc-name httpd.conf #在/etc directory file httpd.conf
(3) find/etc-name ' *srm* ' #使用通配符 * (0 or any number). Find files in the/etc directory that contain the string ' SRM ' in the file name
(4) Find. -name ' srm* ' #表示当前目录下查找文件名开头是字符串 ' SRM ' files
2. Search by File feature
(1) Find/-amin-10 # Find files accessed in the last 10 minutes of the system (access time)
(2) Find/-atime-2 # Find files accessed in the last 48 hours of the system
(3) Find/-empty # finds files or folders that are empty in the system
(4) Find/-group Cat # finds files that belong to group Cat in the system
(5) Find/-mmin-5 # finds files that have been modified in the last 5 minutes of the system (modify time)
(6) Find/-mtime-1 #查找在系统中最后24小时里修改过的文件
(7) Find/-user Fred #查找在系统中属于fred这个用户的文件
(8) Find/-size +10000c #查找出大于10000000字节的文件 (c: Bytes, W: double word, K:KB,M:MB,G:GB)
(9) Find/-size-1000k #查找出小于1000KB的文件
3. Find a file using a hybrid lookup method
Parameters are:! ,-and (-a),-or (-O).
(1) find/tmp-size +10000c-and-mtime +2 #在/tmp directory to find files larger than 10000 bytes and modified in the last 2 minutes
(2) Find/-user fred-or-user George #在/directory lookup user is Fred or George's file file
(3) Find/tmp! -user Panda #在/tmp directory to find all files that are not part of panda users
Second, grep command
basic format:Find expression
1. Main parameters
[options] main parameters:
-C: Outputs only the count of matching rows.
-I: Case insensitive
h: File name is not displayed when querying multiple files.
-N: Displays matching lines and line numbers.
-S: does not display error messages that do not exist or have no matching text.
Pattern Regular Expression Main parameters:
\: Ignores the original meaning of special characters in regular expressions.
^: matches the start line of the regular expression.
$: Matches the end line of the regular expression.
\<: Starts from the line that matches the regular expression.
\>: End of line to match regular expression.
[]: A single character, such as [a], a meets the requirements.
[-]: range, such as [A-z], i.e. A, B, C to Z all meet the requirements.
.: all the individual characters.
*: There are characters, the length can be 0.
2. Example
(1) grep ' test ' d* #显示所有以d开头的文件中包含 Test line
(2) grep ' Test ' AA bb cc #显示在aa, the line containing test in the BB,CC file
(3) grep ' [a-z]\{5\} ' AA #显示所有包含每行字符串至少有5个连续小写字符的字符串的行
(4) grep magic/usr/src #显示files (without subdirectories) in the/USR/SRC directory contain magic lines
(5) Grep-r magic/usr/src #显示files (including subdirectories) in the/USR/SRC directory containing magic lines
(6) Grep-w pattern files: matches only the entire word , not a part of the string (such as matching ' magic ', not ' magical '),
