solution. I'm hoping one of you whiz-guys can provide me an answer in about ten seconds.
Is this want you want (as an example):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo this is a word in a line | grep -o word word
So for your script:
grep -o "word" ./file
If I understand you correctly.
Maybe, maybe not: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo this is a word in a line | grep -o wor wor [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
This:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo this is a word in a line | grep wor | tr ' ' '\n' |grep wor word [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
I use two greps because sometimes the input file is fairly large. You can also sort (or sort -u), and it's good to prequalify the data then too.
