How to search a string which has occured numerous times in a single row. I tried many options, I am facing issue with the file size. Anything I go for, it says it is huge.. File is 82MB.
Assume, the file contains the string 'Name' in many places.. Something Like below.
Mac*12212*Jammm*!Name*21979*jshdkjs*IHH*jewdjwd*Name*9899 and goes on
what all have you used?
sed? it buffers the file. try it if not tried.
You would likely use Regex rather than Wildcard when searching text in a file.
And 82M is far from being big enough and called a huge file.
What are you trying to accomplish. By itself, a search does nothing.
Sort of like saying "walk into a Donut Shop and search for a donut".
Are you trying to count, or determine how many varieties, or?
Commands like "sed" "grep" etc. expect unix standard format text files. Is this a standard format unix text file (i.e. with every record terminated with a linefeed character)? Are you confusing file size with record size I wonder?
Do you mean record size? 2048 bytes is the limit for a record in a lot of UNIX utilities.
