cat log ¦ grep =http doesnt match the = in =http 1

[linuxMaestro]

cat log | grep =http doesnt match the = in =http, it matches everything that has http not just the ones that have =http.

How can I get it to match just the lines with =http?

I tried \=http but it still matches everything with just http

Danks!

Have you tried this ?

grep -F '=http' log

If your grep version don't like the -F option, try this:

fgrep '=http' log

This command doesnt return anything even though I know there are files that contain "include"

for i in `ls -R | grep *.php` ; do fgrep "include" $i ; done

Why wont it work?

PHV is rigth but ...
I don't know how it works in Linux but in AIX a "ls -R" commands doesn't produce a list of files complete of pathnames, but for each subdirectory a list of files contained in, i.e.
goofy (directory name):
file1
file2
file3
goofy/mickey
filex
filey
filez

In this way the $i var in your loop never point to a full pathname but to a relative filename

Use 'find' instead of 'ls'
[tt]
for i in `find . -type f -name '*.php'`; do fgrep "include" $i ; done
[/tt]

You can also do the same thing without the for loop :
[tt]
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec fgrep 'include' {} \;
[/tt]
