try full path

/usr/gnu/bin/grep

Are you using the full path to gnu grep? Its been a while, but I do believe gnu grep is installed in /usr/local/bin.

look i wan to try this
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...-matching-line

I should be abale to print line above and below of searched word say "failed"

now tell me how to do the same thing in Solaris 10

Code:

[raju@100 ~]$ grep -A 1 -B 1 oprofile  /etc/passwd
sabayon:x:86:86:Sabayon user:/home/sabayon:/sbin/nologin
oprofile:x:16:16:Special user account to be used by OProfile:/home/oprofile:/sbin/nologin
rpcuser:x:29:29:RPC Service User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin
[raju@100 ~]$

above is what we do in linux, so how to do this in Solaris

We know what the -A and -B switch do.

Please answer the question asked by Firerat and me.

It would also be nice if you posted the command you are trying to use.

Firerat · 08-21-2013, 07:22 AM

see posts #4 and #5
I've never used solaris , so I don't know which is 'true'
only going off what I have seen posted here on LQ in the past

manalisharmabe · 08-21-2013, 07:23 AM

Code:

-bash-3.2$ which grep
/usr/bin/grep
-bash-3.2$ cd /usr/local/bin
-bash-3.2$ ls grep
grep
-bash-3.2$

-
I have this grep located at system.

To make sure you are using the GNU version:

Code:

/usr/local/bin/grep --version
GNU grep <version number>

...
...

If the above is the case you can use:

Code:

/usr/local/bin/grep -A .......

manalisharmabe · 08-21-2013, 07:27 AM

Code:

-bash-3.2$ /usr/local/bin/grep --version
/usr/local/bin/grep (GNU grep) 2.14

-bash-3.2$

Thanks a LOt guys! Love you!

I hope it is solved now.

Glad to see you got this fixed.

You can use -C instead of both -A and -B:

Code:

/usr/local/bin/grep -C 1 ongert /etc/passwd

BTW: Can you put up the [SOLVED] tag (upper right corener or Thread Tools menu).
