Grep by paragraph instead of by line.

This is a command that I find myself using all the time. It works like regular grep, but returns the paragraph containing the search pattern instead of just the line. It operates on files or standard input.

grepp <PATTERN> <FILE>

or

<SOMECOMMAND> | grepp <PATTERN>

Require "grep -P" ( pcre ).

If you don't have grep -P, use that :

Show local/public IP adresses with or without interface argument using a shell function for Linux and MacOsX

Like the tiltle said, you can use an argument too ( the interface )

MyIps eth0

will show only the IP of this interface and the public IP

( tested with Linux )

You can add that function in ~/.bashrc, then

. ~/.bashrc

Now you are ready to call this function in all your terms...

Checks apache's access_log file, strips the search queries and shoves them up your e-mail

It's not a big line, and it *may not* work for everybody, I guess it depends on the detail of access_log configuration in your httpd.conf. I use it as a prerotate command for logrotate in httpd section so it executes before access_log rotation, everyday at midnight.

Grab an interface's IP from ifconfig without screen clutter

Sometimes, you don't really care about all the other information that ifconfig spits at you (however useful it may otherwise be). You just want an IP. This strips out all the crap and gives you exactly what you want.

Less a grep result, going directly to the first match in the first file

Really useful way to combine less and grep while browsing log files.

I can't figure out how to make it into a true oneliner so paste it into a script file called lgrep:

Usage:

lgrep searchfor file1 [file2 file3]

Advanced example (grep for an Exception in logfiles that starts with qc):

lgrep Exception $(find . -name "qc*.log")

Display the history and optionally grep

Place this in your .bash_profile and you can use it two different ways. If you issue 'h' on its own, then it acts like the history command. If you issue:

h cd

Then it will display all the history with the word 'cd'

FAST Search and Replace for Strings in all Files in Directory

I needed a way to search all files in a web directory that contained a certain string, and replace that string with another string. In the example, I am searching for "askapache" and replacing that string with "htaccess". I wanted this to happen as a cron job, and it was important that this happened as fast as possible while at the same time not hogging the CPU since the machine is a server.

So this script uses the nice command to run the sh shell with the command, which makes the whole thing run with priority 19, meaning it won't hog CPU processing. And the -P5 option to the xargs command means it will run 5 separate grep and sed processes simultaneously, so this is much much faster than running a single grep or sed. You may want to do -P0 which is unlimited if you aren't worried about too many processes or if you don't have to deal with process killers in the bg.

Also, the -m1 command to grep means stop grepping this file for matches after the first match, which also saves time.

Search for a <pattern> string inside all files in the current directory

This is how I typically grep. -R recurse into subdirectories, -n show line numbers of matches, -i ignore case, -s suppress "doesn't exist" and "can't read" messages, -I ignore binary files (technically, process them as having no matches, important for showing inverted results with -v)

I have grep aliased to "grep --color=auto" as well, but that's a matter of formatting not function.
