Awk: Pattern Matching

MediumSed & Awk5-10 min
The brief

From /root/work/app.log, extract only the lines containing 'error' (lowercase) into /root/work/out.txt.

Grading compares against the error-matching lines, so an over- or under-match fails.

What you'll do
  • Select only the lines containing lowercase 'error'
  • Save those lines to /root/work/out.txt

Hands-on lab: you work on a real Linux box in your browser, graded on the machine's actual state.
