  • Parsing file to retrieve specific pattern

    I have a txt file with several rows. Each row contains several words separated by space. I want to print the values which have pattern like amenXXXXXXX (where length of X string is different in many rows). I tried grep with -o option and some other one-liners but not able to print only the words that have the pattern like amen. Indeed I want the output like:

    amen2wit
    amen3grps
    amen0qw
    amen8dbskm.....

    I will appreciate your expert suggestions.

    Are all amenXXXXXXX in the same column? If yes, you could just:

    cut -f N

    Where N is the column number.

      What about this:

      Code:
      echo "no pattern
      amen
      amenXXX
      foo amenBLA foo2
      etc" > mytext.txt
      
      grep -o 'amen[^ ]*' mytext.txt
      amen
      amenXXX
      amenBLA
      How do you want to deal with the pattern occurring more than once per row, if that happens?

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
