Hi,

the pattern ignore case "com*-asx" in linux redhat

trying :
grep -ei "com*-asx" *20070312.csv

doesn't work ? any idea ? should be simple but just couldn't get my head around.

thanks.

m* means any number of m characters.

If you just mean com followed by anything followed by -asx, you should use com.*-asx

Annihilannic.

just add a dot:

grep "com.*-asx"

an asterisk by itself means any number of
occurances of the previous character;
in this case, "m".
