How to grep exact word from file in linux
Let Say I have file contain following data :
[root@amit ~]# cat word.txt
redhat
Redhat
redhat Redhat
redhat123
Redhat123
123Redhat
123redhat
Now I want to grep word redhat by simple search.
[root@amit ~]# grep redhat word.txt
redhat
redhat1 Redhat
redhat123
123redhat
Let Say I have file contain following data :
[root@amit ~]# cat word.txt
redhat
Redhat
redhat Redhat
redhat123
Redhat123
123Redhat
123redhat
Now I want to grep word redhat by simple search.
[root@amit ~]# grep redhat word.txt
redhat
redhat1 Redhat
redhat123
123redhat
But It include words redhat1, redhat123 and 123redhat as well
Now I want to search "EXACT" redhat word from input file. (we can use -w option grep) to achive this.
[root@amit ~]# grep -w redhat word.txt
redhat
Great :)
