Just posting this without trying it out...grep -nH gives you line numbers and full filepath context, and as another commenter said, -ve allows you to string multiple excludes, so grep -inH <search> -ve not_this -ve nor_this -ve nor_that.
You don’t have to stack -v like that: -v inverts all the -e expressions, so this should be equivalent:
grep -inHv -e foo -e bar -e bazSo, awk sort of works as a fancy grep:
ps axjw | awk '(/zsh/ || /login/) && !(/awk/ || /direnv/)'
ps axjw | awk 'NR == 1 {print} (/zsh/ || /login/) && !(/awk/ || /direnv/)'
Thanks for the grep tip!
Unfortunately I've not put in the effort to learn awk past printing the n-th column of ls (my typical use) - the extra syntax required to properly 'quote' and {} things puts me off.
