grep cheatsheet

Posted on 15 Dec, 2021
Will be logging here various uses-cases of grep
  1. 1.
    Print anything between 2 patterns
    # print all function names inside a python files
    grep -o -P '(?<=def ).*?(?=\()' demo.py
  2. 2.
    Ignore more than one pattern from search
    # ignore json and py files from output
    # -v means invert-match
    # -E activates extended regexp patterns (egrep). Allows use of symbols like +, |, ?
    ls | grep -Ev '(.json|.py)'
    # this is same as
    ls | grep -v -e .json -e .py
