Bash Script using Grep to search for a pattern in a file
- by atif089
I am writing a bash script to search for a pattern in a file using GREP. I am clueless for why it isnt working. This is the program
echo "Enter file name...";
read fname;
echo "Enter the search pattern";
read pattern
if [ -f $fname ]; then
result=`grep -i '$pattern' $fname`
echo $result;
fi
Or is there different approach to do this ?
Thanks
