I need help to grep Alphanumeric [[:alnum:]] & Special Characters [[:punct:]] from wordlist without any other characters.
for example, this is the list:
love
great2
pl@ce
&rt
joHn
&^~%$@!$#)(_-+
hearʥ
ʯbattle
fiʬeld
i need regular expression to print all the list & exclude these characters "ʥ - ʯ - ʬ" from the last three words and print them like that as output:
love
great2
pl@ce
&rt
joHn
&^~%$@!$#)(_-+
hear
battle
field
Thanks, wish you all great day :)
i've tried that linux command but i didn't get the expected output
grep -E -o --text "[[:punct:]]*[[:alnum:]]|[[:alnum:]]*[[:punct:]]" list.txt > Final.txt
grep
is not the right tool because -o
option will break down each matched input on a separate line.
Better to use a tool like gnu-sed
, where you can remove all non-ascii characters from input:
sed 's/[^\x00-\x7F]//g' file
love
great2
pl@ce
&rt
joHn
&^~%$@!$#)(_-+
hear
battle
field
Similarly using perl
:
perl -pe 's/[^[:ascii:]]+//g' file
love
great2
pl@ce
&rt
joHn
&^~%$@!$#)(_-+
hear
battle
field
Just to elaborate above point about grep
, here is the output:
grep -oP "[[:ascii:]]+" file
love
great2
pl@ce
&rt
joHn
&^~%$@!$#)(_-+
hear
battle
fi
