bash scripting

[debianhead]

Hello

I wanna use grep in a bash script to return the exact match of my choice.

eg:

grep "[:space:][0-9]something[0-9][:space:]" myfile.txt

This is rather a grep issue, though. However, I get lines including such a match. But I want the words that match my wildcard expression 'cos I wanna append it to another text file.

Can someone help pls?

Your question is not easy to understand. Could you explain further? I use bash with awk it it trims well.

I guess he was trying to use the regular expressions with grep, i do not know what he wanted to do, but he solved, it would be usefull if 'debianhead' post the solution. I think is a little selfish from debianhead to post a problem then solve it and at the end save the answer for it self.
