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".
Try fgrep. It doesn't use regular expression matching (and your "word" is a simple fixed string, so it will work for that).
"grep: memory exhausted" again :(
cat file.txt | grep -i "word" might work if you onlt need to know if the "word" exists in the file. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
