Display exact matches only with grep

Question

How can I display all jobs that ended OK only?

When I try the command below, it shows both OK and NOTOK since both have \"OK\"

ctmpsm -listall applic         


        

Answer 1

^ marks the beginning of the line and $ marks the end of the line. This will return exact matches of "OK" only.

(This also works with double quotes if that's your preference.)

grep '^OK$'
