#Grep pattern file manual#

As the manual pages indicate, grep is used to match patterns in files. By the way, if you are not familiar with how you can get help on commands, check out Chapter 5 - Getting Help. Grep -l -r -include '*.js' 'FIRSTWORD' * | xargs grep -L 'SECONDwORD'ĭc0fd654-37df-4420-8ba5-6046a9dbe406 grep -l -r -include '*.That is indeed a little more concise. grep -l -r -include '*.js' 'FIRSTWORD' * | xargs grep 'SECONDwORD' Get the first matched files from grep command and get all the files don't contain some word, but input files for second grep comes from result files of first grep command. Grep -RH 'cats' /home/adam/Desktop/TomAndJerry #absolute directoryĪ short introduction to symbolic links, for anyone reading this answer and confused by my reference to them: If you want to find all mentions of the word cat in the directory /home/adam/Desktop/TomAndJerryĪnd you're currently in the directory /home/adam/Desktop/WorldDominationPlotĪnd you want to capture the filename but not the line number of any instance of the string 'cats', and you want the recursion to follow symbolic links if it finds them, you could run either of the following grep -RH 'cats'. So if you want to find all files containing Darth Vader in the current directory or any subdirectories and capture the filename and line number, but do not want the recursion to follow symbolic links, the command would be grep -rnH 'Darth Vader'. Since you're trying to grep recursively, the following options may also be useful to you: -H: outputs the filename with the line If you want to follow symbolic links as well as actual directories (be careful of infinite recursion), grep -R 'thing to be found' directory If you only want to follow actual directories, and not symbolic links, grep -r 'thingToBeFound' directory

Process a binary file as if it did not contain matching data Read all files under each directory, recursively this is equivalent to the -d recurse option. (Note: phuclv adds in the comments that -n decreases performance a lot so, so you might want to skip that option) -R, -r, -recursive Prefix each line of output with the line number within its input file. Recurse in directories only searching file matching PATTERN. That includes the following options: -include=PATTERN (As noted by kronen in the comments, you can add 2>/dev/null to void permission denied outputs)

I now always use (even on Windows with GoW - Gnu on Windows): grep -include='*.xxx' -nRHI 'my Text to grep' *
