look
look "string" "filename"
The command "look" searhes for lines that start with a string passed to it as an argument in the file which is also passed as an argument and outputs the
whole line. This is similar to following grep command
grep ^"search sting" "file name"
For eg if we have file named "one" with the contents
The weather has been cloudy
hence it is getting colder every day.
It might rain too.
If we want to search for lines that start with string "The" .
$ look The one
The weather has been cloudy
By default "look" is case sensitive, to ignore case we can use an option "-f".
$look -f the one
The weather has been cloudy
