I am new to Linux commands and I am trying to search for a word that say "apple" recursively in a directory and all the directory names that contain the word.
I am using ripgrep(rg) similar to grep to get the file names that have an apple in them
Ex:
rg -l "apple"
gives me output:
a/fruit.c
b/fruit.c
a/fruits.c
a/fruitsnames.c
a/fruity/fruits.c
b/fru/fruit/fru/fr.c
c/frts.c
Is there a way that I can only the unique parent folder names?
Example output I expect is to get only the folder names:
a
b
c
Solution using grep is also good.
Thank you so much
use sed to remove everything from /, then use sort -u to remove duplicates
ripgrep -l apple | sed 's#/.*##' | sort -u
