Shell Programming and Scripting

sample text:

001 the quick brown fox jumps 987 over a lazy dog
002 the quick brown fox jumps 999 over a lazy dog
003 the quick brown cow jumps 888 over a lazy dog
004 the quick brown fox jumps 777 over a lazy dog
005 the quick brown fox jumps 666 over a lazy cat

i want to do something like:

cat text | egrep -v ""brown fox"|"lazy dog"" (ofcourse this doesn't work)
which should yield:

003 the quick brown cow jumps 888 over a lazy dog
005 the quick brown fox jumps 666 over a lazy cat

TIA,
Marc

try this.......

Code:

awk '/brown fox/||/lazy dog/{print}' filename
