我从来没有设法使“\t”元字符与grep一起工作。 然而，我发现了两个替代方案:

使用<Ctrl-V> <TAB>(按Ctrl-V然后输入TAB) 使用awk: foo | awk '/\t/'

在表达式中插入制表符的另一种方法是使用Bash中不太为人所知的$'\t'引号:

grep $'foo\tbar'        # matches eg. 'foo<tab>bar'

(注意，如果你匹配固定字符串，你可以使用-F模式。)

有时使用变量可以使符号更易于阅读和管理:

tab=$'\t'               # `tab=$(printf '\t')` in POSIX
id='[[:digit:]]\+'
name='[[:alpha:]_][[:alnum:]_-]*'
grep "$name$tab$id"     # matches eg. `bob2<tab>323`

下面是问Ubuntu的答案:

告诉grep使用由Perl定义的正则表达式(Perl拥有 \t as tab): grep -P "\t" <文件名称> . grep "\t" <文件名称> . grep "\t 使用文字制表符: grep "^V<tab>" <文件名> . grep "^V<tab> 使用printf打印制表符: Grep "$(printf '\t')"<文件名>

一种方法是(这是Bash)

grep -P '\t'

-P将打开Perl正则表达式，因此\t将工作。

正如用户unwind所说，它可能是特定于GNU grep的。另一种方法是在shell、编辑器或终端允许的情况下插入一个制表符。

+1方式，工作在ksh，破折号等:使用printf插入制表符:

grep "$(printf 'BEGIN\tEND')" testfile.txt

These alternative binary identification methods are totally functional. And, I really like the one's using awk, as I couldn't quite remember the syntaxic use with single binary chars. However, it should also be possible to assign a shell variable a value in a POSIX portable fashion (i.e. TAB=echo "@" | tr "\100" "\011"), and then employ it from there everywhere, in a POSIX portable fashion; as well (i.e grep "$TAB" filename). While this solution works well with TAB, it will also work well other binary chars, when another desired binary value is used in the assignment (instead of the value for the TAB character to 'tr').
