I have a directory with a bunch of files and each file contains millions of emails.



I need to get all the emails that don't fit with this pattern 



 x.y@enron.com


x and y are letters.



I have this now but it doesn't match the correct emails



grep -P -r -x (?![a-z]*.[a-z]*@enron)



shell command-line grep regular-expression

  • Single quote your search pattern. Not only should this not match the correct emails, it should be throwing the following (or similar) error: -bash: ![a: event not found. You are trying to run nonsense commands in a subshell.

  • Your grep will need to be a lot more sophisticated to separate out each email from the various files in order to display only those emails that don't have the pattern, versus every line as you have it now.

Answer



grep -Evr "[a-z]+.[a-z]+@enron"


Explanation



-E - Use extended regex. (Allow some characters to be used without escaping them)



-v - Invert the matches. (Everything that doesn't match the pattern will be shown)



-r - Search files recursively.



[a-z]+.[a-z]+@enron - Your regex just with + instead of *, as I expect that there must be some letters in each section.

    This doesn't work at all. Maybe you were looking for grep -Evr? This will still show the body of the emails with the x.y@enron addresses though.

    Thank you but that is not helping very much. My current regex catches that correctly. You mentioned messages in the content as well and that's why I asked you for the sample.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
