grep script

Duffs — Wed, 04 May 2005 10:09:58 GMT

Hi,

I am having some difficulty writing a script for the following requirement:

The script needs to be able to search only "WWI*MAN*" files within a certain dir and from these files rcp the ones which contain certain lines beginning with '3' and also contain 'TIL' (in the same format as my attached file) to another network server.

Big points for anyone can help with this.

Cheers.

p.s. my attachment is only the mid section of the original file, it does not begin or end in this format.

cd /your/directory
grep -l "^3.*TIL" WWI*MAN* -exec rcp {} othrsrvr:/tmp/{} \;

Here is an example SED script I did some time ago that matches your description. Modify to fit your needs
