I tried to return all python-scripts (textfiles) which contained both main()
and plt.style.use
somewhere within the file, i.e. not in the same line.
I found some documentations like this explaining how to use logical operators with grep
on single lines in textfiles, but nothing was mentioned regarding entire textfiles.
What I tried out was the following:
grep -Rinw /home/andylu/Desktop/Python/Scripts/ -e 'main()\|plt.style.use'
This command returned all textfiles which contained any of the terms like a logical OR.
As a logical AND doesn't exist with grep
, one could match any order per line of the multiple expressions as mentioned in the example:
grep -E 'Manager.*Sales|Sales.*Manager' employee.txt
This wouldn't help me either, because the terms I'm looking for are coded in different lines within the python-scripts, but must occur both in the same textfile to be relevant for me. These are the textfiles I would like to filter out and return in the console via grep
, or whatever alternative tools.
