grep -E "(string)" /path/to/file || echo "no match found"

-E选项使grep使用正则表达式

if grep -q "$Filename$" my_list.txt
   then
     echo "exist"
else 
     echo "not exist"
fi

我的版本使用fgrep

  FOUND=`fgrep -c "FOUND" $VALIDATION_FILE`
  if [ $FOUND -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Not able to find"
  else
    echo "able to find"     
  fi  

更简单的方法:

if grep "$filename" my_list.txt > /dev/null
then
   ... found
else
   ... not found
fi

提示:如果你想要命令的退出状态，发送到/dev/null，而不是输出。

下面是一个快速搜索和计算字符串或部分字符串的方法:

if grep -R "my-search-string" /my/file.ext
then
    # string exists
else
    # string not found
fi

你也可以先测试，如果该命令只通过运行返回任何结果:

grep -R "my-search-string" /my/file.ext

关于以下解决方案:

grep -Fxq "$FILENAME" my_list.txt

如果你想知道(像我一样)-Fxq在通俗英语中是什么意思:

F:影响PATTERN的解释方式(固定字符串而不是正则表达式) x:匹配整行 问:嘘……最小的印刷

从男子档案中可以看出:

-F, --fixed-strings
    Interpret  PATTERN  as  a  list of fixed strings, separated by newlines, any of which is to be matched.
    (-F is specified by POSIX.)
-x, --line-regexp
    Select only those matches that exactly match the whole line.  (-x is specified by POSIX.)
-q, --quiet, --silent
    Quiet; do not write anything to standard output.  Exit immediately with zero status  if  any  match  is
          found,  even  if  an error was detected.  Also see the -s or --no-messages option.  (-q is specified by
          POSIX.)
