Hi,

I am executing the below command.

grep ".UPDATE" file1.txt | grep -v MQQUEUE > Myprog1

The expected output is all lines in file1.txt which have the string ".UPDATE" and dont contain the string MQQUEUE.

However, the output which I am getting is just searching for the string "UPDATE" instead of ".UPDATE".

Please advise where I am going wrong.

TIA.
Saurabh
