Unix command to search with a string of 6 numbers for any 3 matching numbers per line
Does anyone know of a UNIX command or series of commands to list lines that contains 3 matching numbers to a search with 6 numbers? For example, searching with 38 39 40 41 42 43 I would like to see combinations like 38 40 43 or 39 41 42 listed per line. Thanks.

Do you want only lines where these numbers are separated only by a space, and do these numbers need to be distinct and/or in the order you typed them? So what about38 38 40or38 43 40?

Assuming that you have a file named file that contains lines with mutually different whitespace-separated numbers, and you have a set of 6 numbers - e.g. 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 - that you want to search for in combinations of three, such that lines that consecutively contain three of these numbers in random order are listed as a result of the search, you could use:
grep -P '((^|s+)(38|39|40|41|42|43)(?=($|s))){3}' file
which uses grep with a Perl regular expression (PCRE).
