可以用^符号做[]内的前缀,表示除[]内的字符之外的字 符。
比如搜索oo前没有g的字符串所在的行. 使用 '[^g]oo' 作搜索字符串
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n '[^g]oo' regular_express.txt
2:apple is my favorite food.
3:Football game is not use feet only.
18:google is the best tools for search keyword.
19:goooooogle yes!
[] 内可以用范围表示,比如[a-z] 表示小写字母,[0-9] 表示0~9的数字, [A-Z] 则是大写字母们。[a-zA-Z0-9]表示所有数字与英文字符。 当然也可以配合^来排除字符。
搜索包含数字的行
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n '[0-9]' regular_express.txt
5:However ,this dress is about $ 3183 dollars.
15:You are the best is menu you are the no.1.
行首与行尾字符 ^ $. ^ 表示行的开头,$表示行的结尾( 不是字符,是位置)那么‘^$’ 就表示空行,因为只有
行首和行尾。
这里^与[]里面使用的^意义不同。它表示^后面的串是在行的开头。
比如搜索the在开头的行
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n '^the' regular_express.txt
12:the symbol '*' is represented as star.
搜索以小写字母开头的行
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n '^[a-z]' regular_express.txt
2:apple is my favorite food.
4:this dress doesn't fit me.
10:motorcycle is cheap than car.
12:the symbol '*' is represented as star.
18:google is the best tools for search keyword.
19:goooooogle yes!
20:go! go! Let's go.

woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n '^[^a-zA-Z]' regular_express.txt
1:"Open Source" is a good mechanism to develop programs.
21:#I am VBird
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$
$表示它前面的串是在行的结尾,比如 '/.' 表示 . 在一行的结尾
搜索末尾是.的行
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n '/.$' regular_express.txt //. 是正则表达式的特殊符号,所以要用/转义
1:"Open Source" is a good mechanism to develop programs.
2:apple is my favorite food.
3:Football game is not use feet only.
4:this dress doesn't fit me.
5:However ,this dress is about $ 3183 dollars.

4:this dress doesn't fit me.
..........
点. 代表一个任意字符,必须存在。 g??d 可以用 'g..d' 表示。 good ,gxxd ,gabd .....都符合。
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n 'g..d' regular_express.txt
1:"Open Source" is a good mechanism to develop programs.
9:Oh! the soup taste good!

2:apple is my favorite food.
3:Football game is not use feet only.
9:Oh! the soup taste good!

woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n 'goo*g' regular_express.txt
18:google is the best tools for search keyword.
19:goooooogle yes!
搜索g开头和结尾的字符串在的行
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n 'g.*g' regular_express.txt // .*表示 0个或多个任意字符
1:"Open Source" is a good mechanism to develop programs.
14:The gd software is a library for drafting programs.
18:google is the best tools for search keyword.
19:goooooogle yes!
20:go! go! Let's go.

woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -n 'go/{2,/}g' regular_express.txt
18:google is the best tools for search keyword.
19:goooooogle yes!
扩展正则表达式是对基础正则表达式添加了几个特殊构成的。
它令某些操作更加方便。
比如我们要去除 空白行和行首为 #的行, 会这样用:
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ grep -v '^$' regular_express.txt | grep -v '^#'
"Open Source" is a good mechanism to develop programs.
apple is my favorite food.
Football game is not use feet only.
this dress doesn't fit me.
............
然而使用支持扩展正则表达式的 egrep 与扩展特殊符号 | ,会方便许多。
注意grep只支持基础表达式, 而egrep 支持扩展的, 其实 egrep 是 grep -E 的别名而已。因此grep -E 支持扩展正则。
那么:
woody@xiaoc:~/tmp$ egrep -v '^$|^#' regular_express.txt
"Open Source" is a good mechanism to develop programs.
apple is my favorite food.
Football game is not use feet only.
this dress doesn't fit me.
....................
这里| 表示或的关系。 即满足 ^$ 或者 ^# 的字符串。
