    {m,n} : at least m times and not more than n a{3,5} = aaa | aaaa | aaaaa
    times,
    {m, } : at least m times, a{3,} = aaa | aaa…
    {n} : exactly n times a{2} = aa

    + : Match the last ”block” one or more times ba+ = ba & baa & baaa…
    ? : any character ba? = b | a
    ^ : matches the starting line Basic | Bass | Based | Batido = Ba^

    \W\D\S not word, digit, whitespace

    [abc] any of a, b, or c

    [^abc] not a, b, or c

    [a-g] character between a & g

    Anchors
    ^abc$ start / end of the string

    \t\n\r tab, linefeed, carriage return
    Groups & Lookaround
    (abc) capture group
    \1 backreference to group #1

    Comandos

    cut

    -c list : la lista especifica cualquier posición del caracter

    -b list : La lista especifica la posición del byte

    -f list : selecciona solo estas areas

    -d delimiter : usar el delimitador como delimitar una área en vez del tab

    grep

    -i : ignore case during search

    -r : search recursively

    -v : invert match i.e. match everything except pattern

    -l : list files that match pattern

    -L : list files that do not match pattern

    -n : prefix each line of output with the line number within its input file.

    -A num : print num lines of trailing context after matching lines.

    -B num : print num lines of leading context before matching lines.

    sed (stream editor)


    Pattern Operation Command Operation
    -e combines multiple commands
    s - substitution
    g - global replacement
    p - print
    I - ignore case -f read commands from file
    d - delete
    G - add newline -h print help info
    w - write to file
    -n disable print
    x - exchange pattern with hold buffer
    -V print version info
    h - copy pattern to hold buffer
    s - substitution
    g - global replacement -i in file subsitution
    p - print

    awk
    awk pattern {action}
    awk patterns may be one of the following

    BEGIN : special pattern which is not tested against input. Mostly used for preprocessing, setting
    constants, etc. before input is read.

    END : special pattern which is not tested against input. Mostly used for postprocessing after input
    has been read.

    /regular expression/ : the associated regular expression is matched to each input line that

    is read

    relational expression : used with the if, while relational operators

    && : logical AND operator used as pattern1 && pattern2. Execute action if pattern1 and pattern2
    are true

    || : logical OR operator used as pattern1 —— pattern2. Execute action if either pattern1 or


    pattern2 is true

    ! : logical NOT operator used as !pattern. Execute action if pattern is not matched

    ?: : Used as pattern1 ?

    pattern2 : pattern3. If pattern1 is true use pattern2 for testing else use pattern3

    pattern1, pattern2 : Range pattern, match all records starting with record that matches pattern1
    continuing until a record has been reached that matches pattern2

    Most common action: print

    string constants supported by awk

    \\ : Literal backslash

    \n : newline

    \r : carriage-return

    \t : horizontal tab

    \v : vertical tab

    Format specifiers are similar to the C-programming language

    %d,%i : decimal number

    %e,%E : floating point number of the form [-]d.dddddd.e[±]dd. The %E format uses E instead of e.

    %f : floating point number of the form [-]ddd.dddddd


    %g,%G : Use %e or %f conversion with nonsignificant zeros truncated. The %G

    format uses %E instead of %e

    %s : character string
