How do you grep and only return the matching line? i.e. The path/filename is omitted from the results.
In this case I want to look in all .bar files in the current directory, searching for the term FOO
find . -name '*.bar' -exec grep -Hn FOO {} \;
No need to find. If you are just looking for a pattern within a specific directory, this should suffice:
grep -hn FOO /your/path/*.bar
Where -h is the parameter to hide the filename, as from man grep:
-h, --no-filename Suppress the prefixing of file names on output. This is the default when there is only one file (or only standard input) to search.
Note that you were using
-H, --with-filename Print the file name for each match. This is the default when there is more than one file to search.
Just replace -H with -h. Check man grep for more details on options
find . -name '*.bar' -exec grep -hn FOO {} \;
From the man page:
-h, --no-filename
Suppress the prefixing of file names on output. This is the default when there
is only one file (or only standard input) to search.
