Hello,
I am trying to use gnu parallel and grep as follows
cat tmp | parallel -j1 grep "^{} " ~/datafile.txt
(notice one space between {} and ")
One line in tmp contains 101
and unfortunately with the above statement I get
101 299.2599 -3.6514901
1013 185.00003 -6.7468192
1014 188.6323 9.7729794
which I don't want
grep "^101 " datafile.txt works fine though
I changed grep "^{} "
with grep "^{}\"
but that too gives same results as before.
Is there an easy solution for this?
Thanks
shantanu
