I'm looking to format my output this way, but with appropriate, more graceful code.
In file:
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
line with bar occurence
line with bar occurence
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
My bash command:
cat file | grep -e foo && printf '\n' && cat file | grep -e bar
And result:
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
line with bar occurence
line with bar occurence

You can try this paste
command with grep
paste -zd'\n' <(grep 'foo' input_file) <(grep 'bar' input_file)
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
line with foo occurence
line with bar occurence
line with bar occurence
CodePudding user response:
How about running the grep
command in a loop:
for term in foo bar
do
grep $term file
echo # Add a blank line
done
The above as a one-liner:
for term in foo bar; do grep $term file; echo; done
