Therefore, the searchstring must be typed exactly as it appears in the file.
The Grep utility displays the lines of the file that contain those characters.
This is useful when viewing trace files.
Syntax:
grep searchstring filename
To display the results of the search on the screen:
• Type the following at the C:\AMANDA> prompt:
grep searchstring filename
To store the results in a file:
• Type (on one line):
grep search_string input_filename >
output_filename
where output_filename is the name or path to another file.
To print the results rather than display or store them:
• Type:
grep searchstring filename > prn
For additional information on GREP.EXE, read C:\AMANDA\GREP.MAN.
See also the Less utility, “Displaying Text Files (20 Lines at a Time)” on

Editing a Text File
The JOVE utility allows you to edit any text file on your Amanda system.
For example, you might want to edit INSTALL.CFG, TRACE.OUT,
AMANDA.LOG, 1001.PBX, CONFIG.SYS, and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Syntax:
jove filename
