Check whether a given string exists in a file

kd
Hi All,

Is there a command to check whether a given string is present in a text
file, without having to read the contents of the file, a line at a time and
then check for the given string?

Thanks.

Herfried,

Some KB :-). Note that the file will be loaded into memory and thus the
memory usage will be incremented by at least the size of the file.

Amazing that you know that Hefried, however that is normal with fysical
memory.

With human memory it is something else especially when you have HKW memory.

:-)

Hi, I'm trying to determine whether a given URL exists. I'm new to Python but I think that urllib is the tool for the job. However, if I give it a non-existent file, it simply returns the 404 page. Aside from grepping this for '404', is there a better way to do this? (Preferrably, there is a solution that can be applied to both HTTP and FTP.) Thanks in advance.

How do i check whether an email id exists or not? I am following a three step validation process.. 1) syntax validation- which is pretty straight forward 2) DNS validation - I'm able to do this too. 3) mailbox validation - I have read in many forums saying it is IMPOSSIBLE to check whether a particular email id exists. But take a look at this site.

The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
