find multiple matching in a file

[tropicalisland]

Hi,

I have files that have many of the following data in the file:


Start: 9:20
End: 10:30
Clone: 11:50
test test test
....
Start: 11:55
End: 12:54
...
test test
Start: 01:22
End: 04:45
Clone: 06:20

---
I want to extract all lines that contain "Start Stop and Clone"

I tried using find, but couldn't get it to work.

Thank you for any help,
Chris

 

[chipperMDW]

man [tt]grep[/tt].

[tt]find[/tt] is for finding files, not lines within files.

How can I use "grep" to find a pattern and also display the line number corresponding to the matched pattern. For example, the output could look like this:

1 Start
2 Stop
3 Clone
6 Start
7 Stop
12 Start
13 Stop
14 Clone

 

[chipperMDW]

[tt]man grep[/tt].

Pay attention to the [tt]-n[/tt] and [tt]-o[/tt] options.

if [[ $r = "" ]]; then r=$t; fi
r=$(print $r|tr -s "~" " " )
print $r
}
