Get line number while using grep - linux

I am using grep recursive to search files for a string, and all the matched files and the lines containing that string are print on the terminal. But is it possible to get the line numbers of those lines too??
ex: presently what I get is /var/www/file.php: $options = "this.target", but what I am trying to get is /var/www/file.php: 1142 $options = "this.target";, well where 1142 would be the line number containing that string.
Syntax I am using to grep recursively is sudo grep -r 'pattern' '/var/www/file.php'
One more question is, how do we get results for not equal to a pattern. Like all the files but not the ones having a certain string?

grep -n SEARCHTERM file1 file2 ...

Line numbers are printed with grep -n:
grep -n pattern file.txt
To get only the line number (without the matching line), one may use cut:
grep -n pattern file.txt | cut -d : -f 1
Lines not containing a pattern are printed with grep -v:
grep -v pattern file.txt

If you want only the line number do this:
grep -n Pattern file.ext | gawk '{print $1}' FS=":"
Example:
$ grep -n 9780545460262 EXT20130410.txt | gawk '{print $1}' FS=":"
48793
52285
54023

grep -A20 -B20 pattern file.txt
Search pattern and show 20 lines after and before pattern

grep -nr "search string" directory
This gives you the line with the line number.

In order to display the results with the line numbers, you might try this
grep -nr "word to search for" /path/to/file/file
The result should be something like this:
linenumber: other data "word to search for" other data

When working with vim you can place
function grepn() {
grep -n $# /dev/null | awk -F $':' '{t = $1; $1 = $2; $2 = t; print; }' OFS=$':' | sed 's/^/vim +/' | sed '/:/s// /' | sed '/:/s// : /'
}
in your .bashrc and then
grepn SEARCHTERM file1 file2 ...
results in
vim +123 file1 : xxxxxxSEARCHTERMxxxxxxxxxx
vim +234 file2 : xxxxxxSEARCHTERMxxxxxxxxxx
Now, you can open vim on the correspondending line (for example line 123) by simply copying
vim +123 file1
to your shell.

Bash issue with floating point numbers in specific format

(Need in bash linux)I have a file with numbers like this
1.415949602
91.09582241
91.12042924
91.40270349
91.45625033
91.70150341
91.70174342
91.70660043
91.70966213
91.72597066
91.7287678315
91.7398645966
91.7542977976
91.7678146465
91.77196659
91.77299733
abcdefghij
91.7827827
91.78288651

91.80103075
91.8050505
sed 's/^91\.//' file (working)
Any way possible I can do these 3 steps?
1st I try this
cat input | tr -d 91. > 1.txt (didnt work)
cat input | tr -d "91." > 1.txt (didnt work)
cat input | tr -d '91.' > 1.txt (didnt work)
then
grep -x '.\{10\}' (working)
then
grep "^[6-9]" (working)
Final 1 line solution
cat input.txt | sed 's/\91.//g' | grep -x '.\{10\}' | grep "^[6-9]" > output.txt
Your "final" solution:
cat input.txt |
sed 's/\91.//g' |
grep -x '.\{10\}' |
grep "^[6-9]" > output.txt
should avoid the useless cat, and also move the backslash in the sed script to the correct place (and I added a ^ anchor and removed the g flag since you don't expect more than one match on a line anyway);
sed 's/^91\.//' input.txt |
grep -x '.\{10\}' |
grep "^[6-9]" > output.txt
You might also be able to get rid of at least one useless grep but at this point, I would switch to Awk:
awk '{ sub(/^91\./, "") } /^[6-9].{9}$/' input.txt >output.txt
The sub() does what your sed replacement did; the final condition says to print lines which match the regex.
The same can conveniently, but less readably, be written in sed:
sed -n 's/^91\.([6-9][0-9]\{9\}\)$/\1/p' input.txt >output.txt
assuming your sed dialect supports BRE regex with repetitions like [0-9]\{9\}.

Extract field after colon for lines where field before colon matches pattern

I have a file file1 which looks as below:
tool1v1:1.4.4
tool1v2:1.5.3
tool2v1:1.5.2.c8.5.2.r1981122221118
tool2v2:32.5.0.abc.r20123433554
I want to extract value of tool2v1 and tool2v2
My output should be 1.5.2.c8.5.2.r1981122221118 and 32.5.0.abc.r20123433554.
I have written the following awk but it is not giving correct result:
awk -F: '/^tool2v1/ {print $2}' file1
awk -F: '/^tool2v2/ {print $2}' file1
grep -E can also do the job:
grep -E "tool2v[12]" file1 |sed 's/^.*://'
If you have a grep that supports Perl compatible regular expressions such as GNU grep, you can use a variable-sized look-behind:
$ grep -Po '^tool2v[12]:\K.*' infile
1.5.2.c8.5.2.r1981122221118
32.5.0.abc.r20123433554
The -o option is to retain just the match instead of the whole matching line; \K is the same as "the line must match the things to the left, but don't include them in the match".
You could also use a normal look-behind:
$ grep -Po '(?<=^tool2v[12]:).*' infile
1.5.2.c8.5.2.r1981122221118
32.5.0.abc.r20123433554
And finally, to fix your awk which was almost correct (and as pointed out in a comment):
$ awk -F: '/^tool2v[12]/ { print $2 }' infile
1.5.2.c8.5.2.r1981122221118
32.5.0.abc.r20123433554
You can filter with grep:
grep '\(tool2v1\|tool2v2\)'
And then remove the part before the : with sed:
sed 's/^.*://'
This sed operation means:
^ - match from beginning of string
.* - all characters
up to and including the :
... and replace this matched content with nothing.
The format is sed 's/<MATCH>/<REPLACE>/'
Whole command:
grep '\(tool2v1\|tool2v2\)' file1|sed 's/^.*://'
Result:
1.5.2.c8.5.2.r1981122221118
32.5.0.abc.r20123433554
the question has already been answered though, but you can also use pure bash to achieve the desired result
#!/usr/bin/env bash
while read line;do
if [[ "$line" =~ ^tool2v* ]];then
echo "${line#*:}"
fi
done < ./file1.txt
the while loop reads every line of the file.txt, =~ does a regexp match to check if the value of $line variable if it starts with toolv2, then it trims : backward

How to grep for a key in the file?

I have a text file that carries the following values
Key 1: 0e3f02b50acfe57e21ba991b39d75170d80d98e831400250d3b4813c9b305fd801
Key 2: 8e3db2b4cdfc55d91512daa9ed31b348545f6ba80fcf2c3e1dbb6ce9405f959602
I am using the following grep command to extract value of Key 1
grep -Po '(?<=Key 1=)[^"]*' abc.txt
However, it doesn't seem to work.
Please help me figure out the correct grep command
My output should be:
0e3f02b50acfe57e21ba991b39d75170d80d98e831400250d3b4813c9b305fd801
A grep+cut solution: Search for the right key, then return the third field:
$ grep '^Key 1:' abc.txt | cut -d' ' -f3
Or, equivalently in awk:
$ awk '/^Key 1:/ { print $3 }' abc.txt
Don't use grep to modify the matching string, that's pointless, messy, and non-portable when sed already does it concisely and portably:
$ sed -n 's/^Key 1: //p' file
0e3f02b50acfe57e21ba991b39d75170d80d98e831400250d3b4813c9b305fd801
If your version of grep doesn't support PCRE, you can do the same with sed, e.g.
$ sed -n '/^Key 1: [^"]/s/^Key 1: //p' file.txt
0e3f02b50acfe57e21ba991b39d75170d80d98e831400250d3b4813c9b305fd801
Explanation
-n suppress normal printing of pattern space
/^Key 1: [^"]/ find the pattern
s/^Key 1: // substitute (nothing) for pattern
p print the remainder
You have mistake in your grep (change Key 1= to Key 1:)
grep -Po '(?<=Key 1: )[^"]*' abc.txt
grep -oP '(?<=Key 1: )[^"]+' abc.txt
seems to work for me.

How get value from text file in linux

I have some file xxx.conf in text format. I have some text "disablelog = 1" in this file.
When I use
grep -r "disablelog" oscam.conf
output is
disablelog = 1
But i need only value 1.
Do you have some idea please?
one way is to use awk to print just the value
grep -r "disablelog" oscam.conf | awk '{print $3}'
you could also use sed to replace diablelog = with empty
grep -r 'disablelog' oscam.conf | sed -e 's/disablelog = //'
If you also want to get the lines with or without space before and after = use
grep -r 'disablelog' oscam.conf | sed 's/disablelog\s*=\s*//'
above command will also match
disablelog=1
Assuming you need it as a var in a script:
#!/bin/bash
DISABLELOG=$(awk -F= '/^.*disablelog/{gsub(/ /,"",$2);print $2}' /path/to/oscam.conf)
echo $DISABLELOG
When calling this script, the output should be 1.
Edit: No matter wether there is whitespace or not between the equals sign and the value, the above will handle that. The regex should be anchored in either way to improve performance.
Try:
grep -r "disablelog" oscam.conf | awk -F= '{print $2}'
Just for fun a solution without awk
grep -r disablelog | cut -d= -f2 | xargs
xargs is used here to trim the whitespace

Grep and print only matching word and the next words

I have a text file, install.history
Wed June 20 23:16:32 CDT 2014, EndPatch, FW_6.0.0, SUCCESS
I would only need to print out the word starting from EndPatch to the end that is FW_6.0.0, SUCCESS
The command below that I have only prints out EndPatch, so what do I need to do so that it prints out the remaining of the words so that my result would be:
EndPatch, FW_6.0.0, SUCCESS
Here is the command that I have:
grep -oh "EndPatch[[:alpha:]]*" 'install.history'
This is arguably, easier to do with sed:
sed -n 's/.*EndPatch, //p' install.history
to get the word after EndPatch:
sed -n 's/.*EndPatch, \([^,]*\).*/\1/p' install.history
or:
sed -n 's/.*EndPatch, //p' install.history | cut -d, -f
You could try the below grep command to get everything from EndPatch upto the last,
grep -oP 'EndPatch, (.*)$' file
or
grep -o 'EndPatch.*$' file
Example:
$ grep -oP 'EndPatch, (.*)$' file
EndPatch, FW_6.0.0, SUCCESS
$ grep -o 'EndPatch.*$' file
EndPatch, FW_6.0.0, SUCCESS
Or
You could try the below command to get all the characters which was just after to EndPatch,
$ grep -oP 'EndPatch, \K(.*)$' file
FW_6.0.0, SUCCESS
You need grep -e for regular expression matching
grep -oh 'install.history' -e "EndPatch[[:alpha:]]*"
You can use awk
awk -F "EndPatch, " '{print FS$2}' file
EndPatch, FW_6.0.0, SUCCESS
