Re: Grep for colums?

[Nagy Daniel <n.dani86@gmail.com>]

the "text" is here:

http://pastebin.com/f37214a30

and I only want this string:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/nvu_portable_1.0_rev_5_en-us.paf.exe?download

so I want to search like:

| grep downloads.sourceforge.net | grep nvu

but the text isn't separated with enters, and I want to search in columns, not in rows :S

There is always perl!

If you send an example of what you want, I can hack you quickly a 5 line perl script to do the job...
