grep: clarify that regexp is used by default
grep searches for regexp by default on Linux, and the '-F' switch is required for the exact string. Corrected by replacing search_string with search_pattern, or adding the mentioned switch.

> Matches patterns in input text.
|
||||
> Supports simple patterns and regular expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
- Search for a pattern within a file:
|
||||
|
||||
`grep {{search_pattern}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Search for an exact string:
|
||||
|
||||
`grep {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
`grep -F {{exact_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Search in case-insensitive mode:
|
||||
- Search for a pattern recursively in the current directory, ignoring non-text files:
|
||||
|
||||
`grep -i {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
`grep -RI {{search_pattern}} .`
|
||||
|
||||
- Search recursively (ignoring non-text files) in current directory for an exact string:
|
||||
- Use extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`), in case-insensitive mode:
|
||||
|
||||
`grep -RI {{search_string}} .`
|
||||
|
||||
- Use extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`):
|
||||
|
||||
`grep -E {{^regex$}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
`grep -Ei {{search_pattern}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Print 3 lines of [C]ontext around, [B]efore, or [A]fter each match:
|
||||
|
||||
`grep -{{C|B|A}} 3 {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
`grep -{{C|B|A}} 3 {{search_pattern}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Print file name with the corresponding line number for each match:
|
||||
|
||||
`grep -Hn {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
`grep -Hn {{search_pattern}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the standard input instead of a file:
|
||||
|
||||
`cat {{path/to/file}} | grep {{search_string}}`
|
||||
`cat {{path/to/file}} | grep {{search_pattern}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Invert match for excluding specific strings:
|
||||
|
||||
`grep -v {{search_string}}`
|
||||
`grep -v {{search_pattern}}`
|
||||
