examples of functions using grep (Global REgular exPression - g re p)
examples of functions using grep (Global Regular Expression) to show only ONE line of a file that matches the search.
This is a listing of functions ONLY as an example.
THIS WILL NOT WORK ON YOUR SYSTEM as these TEXT files are not on your system.
The plain text files in this directory may be copied to your local drive, create a "BIBLES" directory and place them there.
Additional plain text files may be found at:
http://johnmeister.com/BIBLE/BIBLES-for-text-searches/
Modify the path to the text files you have.
READ the man pages for grep to see what the options do, or simply experiment with the command to see what is shown.
CREATE an alias in your .bashrc file to see the functions you have created:
alias list-functions="grep function ~/.bashrc"
The example below only looks complicated, and most of these functions I rarely use, I leave them in my
.bashrc file as examples. Also, you can "pipe" ( | ) the results through another filter, and grep for
additional key words that might appear on the matching string. The last two functions provide an
example where an additional grep only listed passages that were NASB or NKJV, both of which are copyrighted
so I can not add those files to this site. However, if you have Bible software with a licensed copy then
you could create your own text file for searching.
The KJV file included in this directory is public domain, as are the foreign language versions.
the alias to see the functions in your .bashrc is executed by typing: list-functions
--> list-functions
alias list-functions="grep function ~/.bashrc"
function dir-mkcd () { mkdir -p "$@" && eval cd "\"\$$#\""; }
