#myScript.sh<br />
cat cars.txt | egrep 'car1|car2'<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;outputs: car1: 1a<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;car2: 1b<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;car1: 2d<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;car2: 2e<br />
<br />
What I would like to accomplish is have an output like below using the minimal commands<br />
1a with 1b<br />
2d with 2e<br />
<br />
Can I modify egrep output to match my format and do this all at once? Would you pipe to echo?<br />
<br />
Before I do any manual processing I wanted to ensure there were no elegant unix ways of accomplishing this..<br />

grep piping

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
