grep
Intro
grep stands Global Regular Expression Print.
|
These notes assume we are using GNU coreutils tools. |
Basic Examples
Find for matches in dist or node_modules, etc:
$ grep --color -r -C 2 <pattern> ./dist
$ grep --color -r -C 2 <pattern> ./node_modulesPipe to less
The option --color implies --color=auto by default.
To pipe to less and have colors, use --color=always and the -R option to less:
$ grep --color=always -rC2 <pattern> <directory> | less -R|
