hi, I have 1.6 GB big text file and I have to find if there is a specific word in the file. Every time I try $> grep -i "word" file.txt I'll get message: "grep: memory exhausted".
I would report that as a bug - unless you really have too little memory
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?9886
cat file.txt | grep -i "word"
According to the bug report, it doesn't (always?) help
cat file.txt | fold | grep -i "word" Or if file.txt is really binary junk: strings file.bin | fold | grep -i "word" Greg -- Greg Freemyer Litigation Triage Solutions Specialist http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer First 99 Days Litigation White Paper - http://www.norcrossgroup.com/forms/whitepapers/99%20Days%20whitepaper.pdf The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
