Can we do patter matching in a string in Shell

[jaigs_27]

like I have

var = hello world hello universe

now I want to do search, how can I do that?

ser = "hello"

For simple search, use grep. For search and replace, use sed. Do this at the command line:

man grep
man sed

If man pages are not installed on your system, google this:

man grep solaris
man sed solaris

Hope this helps.

You can either pipe the text into grep, or use Bash's regex match operator:

I was expecting both of you

Now again working shell after long time.

Understood
