Question

我想说grep的最多10行。

我不希望我的电脑努力工作。我希望它在grep找到10个结果后停止。有可能吗？

Answer 1

-m选项可能就是你要找的东西：

grep -m 10 PATTERN [FILE]

来自man grep，

 -m NUM, --max-count=NUM
          Stop reading a file after NUM matching lines.  If the  input  is
          standard  input  from a regular file, and NUM matching lines are
          output, grep ensures that the standard input  is  positioned  to
          just  after the last matching line before exiting, regardless of
          the presence of trailing context lines.  This enables a  calling
          process  to resume a search.

注意：一旦找到指定数量的匹配项，grep就会停止读取文件！

Answer 2

另一种选择是使用head：

grep ...parameters... yourfile | head

这不需要搜索整个文件 - 它会在找到前十个匹配行时停止。这种方法的另一个优点是，即使使用带-o选项的grep，返回的行也不会超过10行。

例如，如果文件包含以下行：

112233
223344
123123

然后这是输出的差异：

$ grep -o '1.' yourfile | head -n2
11
12

$ grep -m2 -o '1.'
11
12
12

使用head根据需要仅返回2个结果，而-m2返回3.

Answer 3

Awk方法：

awk '/pattern/{print; count++; if (count==10) exit}' file

Answer 4

使用tail：

#dmesg

Answer 5

对于2个用例：

我只希望n个整体结果，而不是每个文件n个结果，grep -m 2是每个文件的最大出现次数。
我经常使用git grep而不使用-m

在这些情况下，grep | sed 2q的一个不错的选择是在所有文件中grep前2次出现。 sed文档：https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html

如何限制从grep返回的结果数？
