# Only Show The Matches
|
|
|
|
Tools like `grep`, `ack`, and `ag` make it easy to search for lines in a
|
|
file that contain certain text and patterns. They all come with the `-o`
|
|
flag which tells them to only show the part that matches.
|
|
|
|
This is particularly powerful when used with regex and piped into other
|
|
programs.
