Using '/s' as a part of pattern for grep command
Issue
-
We can use '/s' to match like space as a patterm for grep command. Like this:
# cat hosts.sample 10.173.16.21 host1 10.173.16.213 host2 # grep "10.173.16.21\s" hosts.sample 10.173.16.21 host1 -
However, in the following case this pattern doesn't work as expected.
# grep "10.173.16.213\s" hosts.sample # -
Why does the case display nothing? What is the correct pattern to do that?
Environment
