Damn no integrated advanced AI-driven solution that analyzes patterns and just predicts the errors? 🤨 (lemmy.sdf.org)

It's a command line tool which filters for all lines containing the query. So something like

cat log.txt | grep Error5

Would output only lines containing Error5

You can just do

grep Error5 log.txt

In the back of my mind I know this is there, but the cat | grep pattern is just muscle memory at this point

Just remember that if you aren't actually concatenating files, cat is always unnecessary.

I've been 'told off' so many times by the internet for my cat and grep combos that I still do it, then I remove the cat, it still works, and I feel better. shrug

for me as well.

or if its a complex error cat log.txt|grep keyword1|grep keyword 2 and so on.
