Re: How to printout matching pattern in command line

Hi all
I am trying to print out matching pattern at command line. How can I do
it?
my command looks like:

perl -e 'print m/PATTERN/g' filename

It's extranoridinarily difficult to know what you're asking. Could you
possible post some sample input and desired output?

I'm *guessing* that what you want to do is loop through all lines of
filename and print out any that match PATTERN. (Which, near as I can
tell, is just a simple Unix grep command). Is that correct?

perl -ne'print if /PATTERN/' filename

Read up on the -n command line option in: `perldoc perlrun`
