I am trying to find ".eml" inside files but I am getting all sort of text which ends with the "eml" or present with "eml" in the texts.
How can I search the particular ".eml" text present on the files.
$ grep -rsin "*.eml" --exclude-dir=cache src/
Command I am trying right now. Eaxmple text which i am receiving are "yuimenuitemlabel" but its wrong.
I am looking for some thing like this "text.eml" or "sendemail.eml" similar to the output.
In your pattern .eml will match any caracter . followed by eml. You must escape the dot :
grep -rsin "\.eml" --exclude-dir=cache src/

I have several files inside a directory, some which contain the word "sweet". I would like to use grep to find the files which contain the exact word and then move them to a different folder.
This is my code :
mv `grep -lir 'sweet' ~/directory1/` ~/directory2
However, there are some files with the word "sweets" or "sweeter" or "Sweet", my command is moving them as well, whereas I want the match to be strictly "sweet".
Please help, thanks.
Using grep -lrwF works

I am trying to use a list that looks like this:
List file:
1mAF
2mAF
4mAF
7mAF
9mAF
10mAF
11mAF
13mAF
18mAF
27mAF
33mAF
36mAF
37mAF
38mAF
39mAF
40mAF
41mAF
45mAF
46mAF
47mAF
49mAF
57mAF
58mAF
60mAF
61mAF
62mAF
63mAF
64mAF
67mAF
82mAF
86mAF
87mAF
95mAF
96mAF
to grab out lines that contain a word-level match in a tab delimited file that looks like this:
File_of_interest:
11mAF-NODE_111-g7687-JEFF-tig00000037_arrow-g7396-AFLA_058530 11mAF cluster63
17mAF-NODE_343-g9350 17mAF cluster07
18mAF-NODE_34-g3647-JEFF-tig00000037_arrow-g7396-AFLA_058530 18mAF cluster20
22mAF-NODE_36-g3735 22mAF cluster28
36mAF-NODE_107-g7427 36mAF cluster77
45mAF-NODE_151-g9067 45mAF cluster14
47mAF-NODE_30-g3242-JEFF-tig00000037_arrow-g7396-AFLA_058530 47mAF cluster21
67mAF-NODE_54-g4372 67mAF cluster06
69mAF-NODE_27-g2754 69mAF cluster39
71mAF-NODE_44-g4178 71mAF cluster25
73mAF-NODE_47-g4895 73mAF cluster57
78mAF-NODE_4-g688 78mAF cluster53
but when I do grep -w -f list file_of_interest these are the only ones I get:
18mAF-NODE_34-g3647-JEFF-tig00000037_arrow-g7396-AFLA_058530 18mAF cluster20
36mAF-NODE_107-g7427 36mAF cluster77
45mAF-NODE_151-g9067 45mAF cluster14
and this misses a bunch of the values that are in the original list for example note that "67mAF" is in the list and in the file but it isn't returned.
I have tried removing everything after "mAF" in the list and trying again -- no change. I have rewritten the list in a completely new file to no avail. Oddly, I get more of them if I "sort" the list into a new file and then do the grep, but I still don't get all of them. I have also removed all invisible characters using sed (sed $'s/[^[:print:]\t]//g'). no change.
I am on OSX and both files were created on OSX, but normally grep -f -w works in the fashion i'm describing above.
I am completely flummoxed. Is I thought grep -w -f would look for all word-level matches of items in the file in the target file... am I wrong?
Thanks!
My guess is at least one of these files originates from a Windows machine and has CRLF line endings. file(1) might be used to tell you. If that is the case do:
fromdos FILE
or, alternatively:
dos2unix FILE
I have some markdown files to process which contain links to images that I wish to download. e.g. a markdown file:
[](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/git.png)
a lot of text
some more text...
[](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ze2SiBflkZ4/XbtF1TjELcI/AAAAAAAALL4/IDC6W-b5moU0eGu2eN60aZ4pxfXW1ybmQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/take_a_break_git.gif)
some more text
another URL but not image
[https://github.com]
so on
I am trying to parse through this file and extract the list of image URLs, which I can later pass on wget command to download.
So far I have used grep and sed and have got results:
$ sed -nE "/https?:\/\/[^ ]+.(jpg|png|gif)/p" $path
[](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/git.png)
[](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ze2SiBflkZ4/XbtF1TjELcI/AAAAAAAALL4/IDC6W-b5moU0eGu2eN60aZ4pxfXW1ybmQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/take_a_break_git.gif)
$ grep -Eo "https?://[^ ]+.(jpg|png|gif)" $path
https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/git.png)](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/git.png

The regex is essentially working fine, but the issue is that as the same URL is present twice in the same line, the text selected is the first occurrence of https and last occurrence of jpg|png|gif. But I want the first occurrence of https and first occurrence of jpg|png|gif
How can fix this?
P.S. I have also tried lynx -dump -image_links -listonly $path but this prints the entire file.
I am also open to other options that solve the purpose, and as long as I can hook the code up in my current shell script.
You may add square brackets into the negated bracket expression:
grep -Eo "https?://[^][ ]+\.(jpg|png|gif)"
See the online demo. Details:
https?:// - http:// or https://
[^][ ]+ - one or more chars other than ], [ and space
\. - a dot
(jpg|png|gif) - either of the three alternative substrings.
I was reading about rename and came across this example to change the file extension from htm to html:
rename -v 's/\.htm$/\.html/' *.htm
and it said: The $ means the end of the string. \.htm$ means that it will match .htm but not .html.
I was a bit confused by the use of $ here. Since we already specified *.htm at the end of command line, rename would only select out the htm files (instead of html). So why was it necessary to use the $ still? In another words, what's wrong with no using $?
Anchor $ matches the end of the source file name and it is still required in your regex and dot should also be escaped otherwise abc.htm.htm will be renamed to abc.html.htm instead of abc.htm.html.
Correct command is:
rename -v 's/\.htm$/.html/' *.htm
So I have a directory with ~50 files, and each contain different things. I often find myself not remembering which files contain what. (This is not a problem with the naming -- it is sort of like having a list of programs and not remembering which files contain conditionals).
Anyways, so far, I've been using
cat * | grep "desiredString"
for a string that I know is in there. However, this just gives me the lines which contain the desired string. This is usually enough, but I'd like it to give me the file names instead, if at all possible.
How could I go about doing this?
It sounds like you want grep -l, which will list the files that contain a particular string. You can also just pass the filename arguments directly to grep and skip cat.
grep -l "desiredString" *
In the directory containing the files among which you want to search:
grep -rn "desiredString" .
This can list all the files matching "desiredString", with file names, matching lines and line numbers.
