|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Number lines in a file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`nl {{source_file}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Number lines where there is printable text only:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`nl -t {{source_file}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Number lines that match a regular expression (Starting with a Capital
|
||||||
|
A is Exampled):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`nl -b p^A {{source_file}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Can be useful as an alternative to grep {{source_file}} -n
|
||||||
|
{{search_term}}:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`nl ./file | grep match`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Which outputs `{{line_number}} {{search_term}}`
