I have a grep output, let's say grep -rn . -e 'potato': it lists every line in the pattern filename:line_number:line_content such that the word 'potato' appears. Below is our delicious output sample:

./recipes/potato_puree.txt:8:- 5 medium-size potatoes.
./recipes/potato_puree.txt:30:- Cook the potatoes for 30 minutes.
./recipes/potato_puree.txt:5:6 medium-size potatoes.
./recipes/fried_potato.txt:10:- Peel the potato;
./recipes/fried_potato.txt:11:- Cut it into sticks;
./items/restaurant.txt:30:- 10kg English potatoes.
./items/grocery.txt:31:- 10kg sweet potatoes.

So far so good! In case I want those lines with the token item, I pipe the command | grep item and obtain the output below:

./items/restaurant.txt:30:- 10kg English potatoes.
./items/grocery.txt:31:- 10kg sweet potatoes.

I wish to obtain those WITHOUT token item on its filename. I thank you in advance for any provided help.

Best regards.

`... | grep -v item`. This question should be a duplicate – Socowi Dec 03 '22 at 13:20
Do you mind posting it as the answer? Thanks – Bruno Peixoto Dec 03 '22 at 13:56
I made the example up. But you have a point: I removed the tag `-w` – Bruno Peixoto Dec 03 '22 at 13:57
I can both extract `item` token both from file content and name. In my case, I wish to extract those FILENAMES with token `item`. I edited the post statement for clarity. Thanks. :-) – Bruno Peixoto Dec 03 '22 at 14:06
This might work for you: `readarray -d '' files < <(find . -type f ! -path '*item*' -print0); grep -n 'potato' "${files[@]}"` – M. Nejat Aydin Dec 03 '22 at 14:28
