ptargrep: Search for a pattern within multiple files.
$ ptargrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename1} ${filename2} ${filename3}
try on your machine
This command makes use of the "ptargrep" utility to search for a specific pattern in the given files.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "ptargrep": This is likely the name of a custom utility or script that has been created. It is not a standard command and could be a tool specific to a certain system or application.
- "${search_pattern}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual pattern you are searching for. It is enclosed in double quotes ("") and preceded by "$" to denote it as a variable. The search pattern can be a word, phrase, regular expression, or any specific sequence of characters that you want to search for.
- ${filename1}, ${filename2}, ${filename3}: These are variables containing the names of the files in which you want to search for the pattern. You should replace them with the actual names of the files you want to search within. The variables are also preceded by "$" and enclosed in curly brackets {}. Multiple filenames can be included, separated by spaces.
Overall, this command runs the "ptargrep" utility, passing the search pattern and filenames as arguments. The utility will then search for the specified pattern within the given files and display any matching lines or other relevant information.
