|
| 8 | # next to each other. If you want to only find that word we can do this

|
| 10 | # $ grep -w -i "the" LICENSE # -w for the word, -i to ignore the
|
| 11 | # # the case spellings

| 13 | # The common useful options are listed here
|
| 14 | #
|
| 15 | # -w matches whole words
|
| 16 | # -x matches whole lines
|
| 17 | # -i ignores case spellings
|
| 18 | # -v invert match findings
|
| 19 | # -n show line numbers
|
| 20 | # -c count matches per line
|
| 21 | # -l prints file names with matches
|
| 22 | # -q quiet, supress the output, used often for true or false findings
|
| 23 | # -H show the filename before a match when matching many files
|
| 24 | # -o prints only the matching part, not whole line
|
| 25 | #
|
| 26 | # Help me figure out a way where I can find the amount of times the word
|
| 27 | # 'the' (in all of its strange uppercases and lowercases) is used in
|
| 28 | # the LICENSE file. It seems that I can't get quite an accurate reading.
