GREP TO EXTRACT NON DIGIT FROM EXPRESSION Empty GREP TO EXTRACT NON DIGIT FROM EXPRESSION

Post by itssrinath Fri Mar 12, 2010 2:05 pm

The file grep.txt contains:
hi
hello
everybody
1987
15
5^
xx.y
HELLO
HI
hi

[335931@oracleclient ~]$ grep [0-9] grep.txt
1987
15
5^

[335931@oracleclient ~]$ grep [^0-9] grep.txt
[335931@oracleclient ~]$
(the second command to extract non digits does nt print anything to the output terminal).Pls help me resolve this.

but i got a doubt now!

in the
Code:
[336474@oracleclient ~]$ grep [^0-9] grep.txt
hi
hello
everybody
5^
xx.y
HELLO
HI
hi

in this y am i getting 5^ in the output list???

if it accepts all the words which contain other than [0-9]
(5^ contains ^ which does not fall in [0-9])
what should be my command so as to accept the words which does not have any numbers in them????

cat greptest

hi
hello
everybody
1987
15
5^
xx.y
HELLO
HI
hi


[335814@oracleclient ~]$ grep -v [0-9] greptest.txt
hi
hello
everybody
xx.y
HELLO
HI
hi
[335814@oracleclient ~]$ grep -v [^0-9] greptest.txt
1987
15


in both above cases ^5 is missing....
same way when -v is not used ^5 is present in both

why!!!

[^a-z] is negation of[a-z]

[a-z] says accept if it contains any character from a to z

[^a-z] says accept if it contains any other character other than a to z
(it will accept abc123 because it contains 123 which are character other than a to z)

but -v [a-z] says dont accept if it contains any character from a to z
(it will not accept abc123 because it contains abc which are character from a to z ) (i.e. even though it contains 123 it is rejected because it contains abc)

[^a-z] says accept if it contains any other character other than a to z
(it will accept abc123 because it contains 123 which are character other than a to z)

Therefore [^0-9] gives ^5 because it contains character '^' (other than 0-9)
