kinda noob question
I want grep to only display lines starting with an expression instead of a line containing the expression.
What command should i therefore use?
(it's for a bash script i'm trying to get working. strange bug with "turbo" being seen as "Galaxian Turbo" turbo "Turbo" (turbo does run though)

The caret ^ and the dollar sign $ are metacharacters that respectively
match the empty string at the beginning and end of a line. The symbols
\< and \> respectively match the empty string at the beginning and end
of a word. The symbol \b matches the empty string at the edge of a
word, and \B matches the empty string provided it’s not at the edge of
a word.
