27.4 Finding a Pattern Only When It's a Word
One very useful
grep
option is
-w
, which tells it to
report a line containing the pattern only when the pattern appears as
a separate word. This is just like the
\<
and
\>
(
26.4
)
pattern-matching
characters, but a lot easier to type.
(Unfortunately, not all versions of
grep
have
-w
.)
