Grep Help

It is a guide to the grep command in Linux. Grep is a command-line tool that searches for patterns in text files.

The basic syntax of the grep command is:

grep pattern file 

Where pattern is the text you are searching for and file is the file you are searching in.

For example, the following command will search the file example.txt for the text "hello":

grep hello example.txt 

Grep has a variety of options that can be used to customize the search. Some of the most common options include:

• -i: Ignore case. This means that the search will match the pattern regardless of whether it is lowercase or uppercase.
• -n: Print the line number of each match.
• -c: Print the number of matches.
• -v: Invert the match. This means that the search will match all lines that do not contain the pattern.

For more information on the grep command, you can refer to the grep manual page:

man grep
