Hi everyone, im trying to make the following command line shorter by introducing a script that join up all the grep commands
./new1a < numbers.txt | grep -i -v '^a ' | grep -i -v '^the ' | grep -i -v '^or ' | sort -f How would I go about merging all the greps into a scripe and putting all the words that should be excluded into a data file so would it be something like this ---exclude--- #!/bin/sh # exclude.sh grep -i -v ^datafile.txt ----end-------------- ---datafile.txt--- a the or ---end.txt--- so i would be able to execute it like ./new < numbers.txt | exclude | sort -f Thank you, i tried doing every possible way i could think of but it doesnt seem to work. Im a newb just started script programming 2 weeks ago -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/grep-help%2C-how-do-i-make-this-shorter--tp15198967p15198967.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
