I've actually got two questions about grep. First, can the -l, which just prints the matching filenames, and -n, which includes the matched line number using the syntax "filename:lineno", be combined to affect. What I find is that adding -n makes inclusion of -l a noop. The reason I ask is I'm using grep to generate .gdbinit files. the syntax that -n emits is right on, except for the extra stuff that is normally suppressed by -l. The second question is there a way to defeat the default behavior of not including the filename when -n is used and only one file is included in the search? In this case, it prints just the lineno. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-console" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
