Re: Subpatterns in Grep?

Thanks again. This is reasonably simple for short groups of lines. Le samedi 6 octobre 2012 17:04:43 UTC+2, Patrick Woolsey a écrit : > > At 23:50 -0700 10/05/2012, jmichel wrote: > >Thanks for these explanations. They confirm what I suspected. > >Assuming that the number of lines in one group

Re: Subpatterns in Grep?

Thanks for these explanations. They confirm what I suspected. Assuming that the number of lines in one group can never exceed, say, 15 or so, could one circumvent the difficulty by explicitly repeating the search pattern a sufficient number of times? Then the problem would be to ensure a match a

Re: Subpatterns in Grep?

This sounds amazingly powerful and flexible. Thanks a lot. I will try it asap. The only problem is that I will need to learn Perl if I want to be able to write such scripts… Le samedi 6 octobre 2012 01:25:58 UTC+2, eremita a écrit : > > > On 5 Oct 2012, at 16:18, jmichel > > wrote: > > > I hav

Subpatterns in Grep?

I have a file consisting of groups of lines (unknown number of lines in each group). Each line begins by a 6 digit number, followed by an unknown sequence of words and numbers. Consecutive lines starting with the same number form a group. My problem is to combine lines from each group into a si

subpatterns in grep (maybe)

Hi folks, I'm running through some logs of search queries, trying to pull out the ones containing variations on United Nations. I am trying to write a regular expression that can match a two letter format (such as "UN", "U.N." or "U. N.") or a two word format ("United Nations", "united +nation").
