grep - ignore empty values












0















I am wondering is there an easy way to ignore search result output lets say like a $pacmd list-modules | grep -e 'name: <module-cli-protocol-unix>' -e 'argument: '



in this case the output is giving if argument has values or if it doesn't. So my question is how to make grep output name if argument has non-empty value?
And, yes, it would be nice to have a non-script solution... ;)



Thanks

  • @roaima you mean the result output? The full output is the pulseaudio's $pacmd list-modules
