Hi all,
I have files with mailing addresses in them. There are normally 4-5 lines with the first line starting with "address: " then the person's name and 3 or 4 more lines of address. Can (how) I use grep to pull all the address out? If not grep what else?
Find and install "agrep". It can process multi-line records. The "a" stands for "approximate" and it can do much more sophisticated matching than the stock grep family can. I found version 4.0 of the package "agrep" in the Packman RPM repository.
Thanks!
