Question
Display all of the lines in the file that contain "Raspberry" followed later in the line
by the letter "a".
File name = inventory
I have no idea how I could possibly do it so I'm wondering if someone with more experience might be able to enlighten me.
I've tried:
grep "Rasberry.*a" inventory
grep "Rasberry a" inventory
grep "Rasberry.* a" inventory
grep "Rasberry a" inventory
None of these work, the only file in 'inventory' that matches the description is 'Raspberry Jam,1216,194' so I'm hoping someone could help me ;x Thanks.
Wow... uhm >.> Thank you good sir. I didn't sleep at all last night so these kind of things are slipping by me... Ya that was the issue, thanks everyone for your help, I'm retarded.
