fgrep

 
Matches fixed strings in files. Equivalent to grep -F. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html.
 
  • Search for an exact string in a file:
     
    fgrep {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
     
  • Search only lines that match entirely in files:
     
    fgrep -x {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}
     
  • Count the number of lines that match the given string in a file:
     
    fgrep -c {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
     
  • Show the line number in the file along with the line matched:
     
    fgrep -n {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
     
  • Display all lines except those that contain the search string:
     
    fgrep -v {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
     
  • Display filenames whose content matches the search string at least once:
     
    fgrep -l {{search_string}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}
