Subject: using grep with both -l and -n
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 16:00:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c13irp$6lf$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
I've actually got two questions about grep.
First, can the -l, which just prints the matching filenames, and -n,
which includes the matched line number using the syntax
"filename:lineno", be combined to affect.
What I find is that adding -n makes inclusion of -l a noop.
The reason I ask is I'm using grep to generate .gdbinit files. the
syntax that -n emits is right on, except for the extra stuff that is
normally suppressed by -l.
The second question is there a way to defeat the default behavior of not
including the filename when -n is used and only one file is included in
the search? In this case, it prints just the lineno.
