How to find a particular string in a file and display matched string and rest of the line?
For example- I have a line in a.txt
:
This code gives ORA-12345 in my code.
So, I am finding string 'ORA-'
Output Should be:
ORA-12345 in my code
Tried using grep:
grep 'ORA-*' a.txt
but it gives whole line in the output.
# Create test data:
echo "junk ORA-12345 more stuff" > a.tst
echo "junk ORB-12345 another stuff" >> a.tst
# Actually command:
# the -o (--only-matching) flag will print only the matched result, and not the full line
cat a.tst | grep -o 'ORA-.*$' # ORA-12345 more stuff
As fedorqui pointed out you can use:
grep -o 'ORA-.*$' a.tst
