Folks, I want to know if there exists a command that just highlight some portions of the input text, rather than filtering it like grep does.
To give an example, suppose the following input text:
foo bar gaz das xar grep "bar\|gaz" input would print the first two lines, highlighting bar and gaz, but would not display xar.
I'm aware that I could simply set a big constant to the -C argument, so it would "always" show the context, like: grep -C1000 "bar\|gaz" input, but I'm not sure if that is efficient, or if there is a better tool for that.
