See pcre(3) for a - full description of syntax and semantics. - - If no files are specified, pcregrep reads the standard - input. By default, each line that matches the pattern is - copied to the standard output, and if there is more than one - file, the file name is printed before each line of output. - However, there are options that can change how pcregrep - behaves. - - Lines are limited to BUFSIZ characters. BUFSIZ is defined in - <stdio.h>. The newline character is removed from the end of - each line before it is matched against the pattern. - - - -OPTIONS - -V Write the version number of the PCRE library being - used to the standard error stream. - - -c Do not print individual lines; instead just print - a count of the number of lines that would other- - wise have been printed. If several files are - given, a count is printed for each of them. - - -ffilename - Read patterns from the file, one per line, and - match all patterns against each line. There is a - maximum of 100 patterns. Trailing white space is - removed, and blank lines are ignored. An empty - file contains no patterns and therefore matches - nothing. - - -h Suppress printing of filenames when searching mul- - tiple files. - - -i Ignore upper/lower case distinctions during com- - parisons. - - -l Instead of printing lines from the files, just - - print the names of the files containing lines that - would have been printed. Each file name is printed - once, on a separate line. - - -n Precede each line by its line number in the file. - - -r If any file is a directory, recursively scan the - files it contains. Without -r a directory is - scanned as a normal file. - - -s Work silently, that is, display nothing except - error messages. The exit status indicates whether - any matches were found. - - -v Invert the sense of the match, so that lines which - do not match the pattern are now the ones that are - found. - - -x Force the pattern to be anchored (it must start - matching at the beginning of the line) and in - addition, require it to match the entire line. - This is equivalent to having ^ and $ characters at - the start and end of each alternative branch in - the regular expression. - - - -SEE ALSO - pcre(3), Perl 5 documentation - - - - - -DIAGNOSTICS - Exit status is 0 if any matches were found, 1 if no matches - were found, and 2 for syntax errors or inacessible files - (even if matches were found). - - - -AUTHOR - Philip Hazel <ph10@cam.ac.uk> - - Last updated: 15 August 2001 - Copyright (c) 1997-2001 University of Cambridge. |
