| 00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on more on grep. |
| 00:05 | In this tutorial, we will learn |
| 00:07 | some more on grep commands |
| 00:10 | through some examples. |
| 00:13 | To record this tutorial, I am using: |
| 00:16 | Linux Operating System and |
| 00:20 | GNU BASH version 4.2.24 |
| 00:23 | Please note, GNU bash version 4 or above is recommended to practice this tutorial. |
| 00:29 | As prerequisites- |
| 00:31 | you should know basics of Linux terminal. |
| 00:35 | You should be aware of grep. |
| 00:37 | For relevant tutorials, please visit our website which is as shown: http://spoken-tutorial.org |
| 00:43 | We can match more than one patterns as well. |
| 00:47 | Then we have to use the hyphen e option. |
| 00:52 | I will use the same file grepdemo.txt. |
| 00:57 | Say, we want to find information for those who are either in civil or electronics. |
| 01:04 | We need to type on the terminal: |
| 01:07 | grep space hyphen e space within double quotes electronics after the quotes space hyphen e space within double quotes civil after the quotes space grepdemo.txt |
| 01:22 | Press Enter. |
| 01:24 | The output is displayed. |
| 01:27 | Say, you need to look into people whose title is choudhury. |
| 01:32 | The problem is, different people spell their titles in different way. |
| 01:38 | So, what is the solution? |
| 01:41 | In such cases, we can use hyphen e option with hyphen i. |
| 01:47 | Type: grep space hyphen ie space within double quotes chaudhury ('c' 'h' 'a' 'u' 'd' 'h' 'u' 'r' 'y') after the quotes space hyphen ie space within double quotes chowdhari ('c' 'h' 'o' 'w' 'd' 'h' 'a' 'r' 'i') after the quotes space grepdemo.txt. |
| 02:11 | Press Enter. |
| 02:14 | The output is displayed. |
| 02:16 | But, there can be many other ways in which we can write the names. |
| 02:22 | How many hyphen e options can we give? |
| 02:26 | Obviously, there needs to be a better way and that way is through Regular expressions. |
| 02:33 | A 'regular expression' provides a concise and flexible means for matching strings of text |
| 02:41 | such as particular characters, words or patterns of characters. |
| 02:47 | There are a number of regular expression characters. |
| 02:51 | Let us see them one by one. |
| 02:54 | The character class- |
| 02:56 | It allows us to specify a group of characters within a pair of square brackets. |
| 03:03 | Only one out of this group of characters is matched. |
| 03:07 | Eg. [abc] would mean that this regular expression matches either a or b or c. |
| 03:17 | To match chaudhury, we may type at the prompt: |
| 03:22 | grep space hyphen i space within double quotes ch opening square-bracket ao closing square-bracket opening square-bracket uw closing square-bracket dh opening square-bracket ua closing square-bracket r opening square- bracket yi closing square-bracket after the double quotes space grepdemo.txt |
| 03:53 | Press Enter. |
| 03:55 | The output is displayed. |
| 03:59 | It still does not match choudhuree with double e. |
| 04:02 | If we want to specify a large range then we write: |
| 04:07 | First letter dash last letter of the range. |
| 04:13 | Suppose we like to match any digit, we simply write [0-9]. |
| 04:20 | One out of this group of characters is matched. |
| 04:24 | The asterisk: The asterisk refers to 0 or more occurrences of the immediately preceding character. |
| 04:33 | For example, ab asterisk can match a,ab,abb,abbb etc. |
| 04:43 | So, to match the students name whose name is Mira |
| 04:47 | We type at the prompt: |
| 04:50 | grep space hyphen i space within double quotes m opening square-bracket ei closing square bracket asterisk r a a asterisk after the quotes space grepdemo.txt |
| 05:11 | Press Enter. |
| 05:13 | The output is displayed. |
| 05:16 | The dot regular-expression matches any one character. |
| 05:21 | Say, we want to search any words that are 4 letters long and starts with M. |
| 05:27 | We would simply type: |
| 05:30 | grep space within double quotes M... space after the quotes space grepdemo.txt |
| 05:43 | Press Enter. |
| 05:45 | The output is displayed. |
| 05:47 | Here, the space within the quotes is important as it would match 5 or more letter words. |
| 05:56 | We may be specific about where in the line we want to search for our pattern. |
| 06:01 | It may be at the beginning of the line. |
| 06:04 | For that, we have the caret sign. |
| 06:07 | Now, if we want to get those entries whose roll-numbers start with A. |
| 06:13 | We know that roll is the first field in the file. |
| 06:18 | We type at the prompt: grep space within double quotes caret-sign A after the quotes grepdemo.txt |
| 06:29 | Press Enter. |
| 06:31 | The output is displayed. |
| 06:34 | Similarly, to match a pattern at the end of the file, we have the dollar sign. |
| 06:40 | To find stipends between 7000 to 8999, we have to write: |
| 06:49 | grep space within double quotes opening square bracket 78 closing square bracket ... dollar sign after the quotes space grepdemo.txt |
| 07:05 | Press Enter . |
| 07:07 | The output is displayed. |
| 07:10 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
| 07:13 | Let us summarize. |
| 07:15 | In this tutorial, we learnt: |
| 07:17 | To match more than one pattern |
| 07:20 | To check a word that has different spelling |
| 07:23 | Character class The use of asterisk |
| 07:27 | To match any one character using dot |
| 07:31 | To match a pattern at the beginning of the file |
| 07:35 | To match a pattern at the end of the file. |
| 07:39 | As an assignment, list those entries that are 5 letters long and starts with 'Y'. |
