Thanks for all answers!
I guess Iīm so newbe so I don`t understand what should happend.
I get an empty input line when grep is called, if I press ctrl+D, nothing happens.
I expect to get an output of what I want to grep, in this case files with rwxr-xr-x, but I don`t. I can see that files like this exist after I run the first command, so I donīt get it.
My answer took a while, cause I wanted to try this again first, but no progress :-(
I anyone have time, please explain whats wrong, or how I use the grep command, if I missunderstood this..
First, does grep work normally in other situations? For example, look at a small text file (make one if necessary), and use grep to find a word, eg:
Code:
grep word filename
Second, if you run the grep command by itself with only a keyword, then I would not know what to expect. (grep needs a keyword and a file--or data stream--to read from)
