Actually,the above will grep for 217848 OR "BIG",not both.
The correct way would be:
grep "217848" <file list> |grep BIG
"Long live king Moshiach !"

Hi jalge
If u want to display all lines that contain the pattern
such as 217848 and BIG
Please issue the command as follows
#grep -E "217848|BIG" <file_name>
I think this is what u need...

# fgrep "217848" <file list> |grep BIG
should be better for more than one file

If you want to get all instances of lines that have "217848" and "BIG" in the files, you have to use
grep -E "217848|BIG" <filename or list of files>
or
egrep "217848|BIG" <filename or list of files>
Using grep "217848" <file or list of files> | grep BIG, or grep "217848" <file list> |grep BIG will only give you one return, even if there are many lines that have both "217848" and BIG in them.
grep -E "217848|BIG" <filename or list of files>
or
egrep "217848|BIG" <filename or list of files>
Using grep "217848" <file or list of files> | grep BIG, or grep "217848" <file list> |grep BIG will only give you one return, even if there are many lines that have both "217848" and BIG in them.

Hi,
If "217848" and "BIG" should be in the same line - then use:
grep "217848" <file list> |grep BIG
This gives the "AND" effect.
If "217848" and "BIG" should be in the differnt lines and you want to gerp for either one - then use:
grep -E "217848|BIG" <filename or list of files>
This gives the "OR" effect.
"Long live king Moshiach !"
