-- to use grep to find a pattern --

[r9ronaldo]

Hi,
I have a situation where I have to grep for the Pattern, and notjust one keyword or one line.

Anyway I can do that,

Your help is appreciated,

Thanks

I don't really understand your question.
May I suggest

 man egrep

and (if available on your *nix flavor)

 man regexp

Hope This Help

PHV,

Just an FYI, at least on HPUX, egrep is obsolete and has been replaced by grep -E and regexp has been replaced by regcomp.

r9ronaldo, if I understand your question correctly, you can use this:

grep -i "The pattern you are searching for" filename.txt

The -i tells grep not to worry about case.
