I have a different scenario. To make it more clear here is what I want.
I've a file named myfile
with following info:
Saurav Kumar
Sumeet Kumar
Punit Kumar Sharma
Supreet Prasad Sinha
N. Senthil Kumar
A. Salai Nayagan
.
.
and so on..
Now If I want to get the names which have Kumar
as a part, I can use simply:
grep -i "kumar" myfile
So it will return like this:
Saurav Kumar
Sumeet Kumar
Punit Kumar Sharma
N. Senthil Kumar
What I want is not to display the word Kumar
in the search result. i,e the searched results without Kumar
like this:
Saurav
Sumeet
Punit Sharma
N. Senthil
One more thing I have to use only grep to get the result not any thing else like tr
, sed
, awk
, etc..
I don't know whether my question heading is appropriate or not. So I request to change it to make it more meaningful.
I will be very happy to get the solution.
Thanks in advance!!
