bash grep

How do I grep a given path and not the contents of the file in bash? ls won't work because the path is actually an input file, $1. Thanks.

oh I see. Yeah, ops solution in >>4 looks good.



$ WABS=hello

$ if echo $WABS | grep hell > /dev/null; then echo "haha it contained hell!"; else echo "it did not contain hell"; fi

haha it contained hell!

$ WABS=welcome  

$ if echo $WABS | grep hell > /dev/null; then echo "haha it contained hell!"; else echo "it did not contain hell"; fi

it did not contain hell
