Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi..
How to search for multiple words in a single line using grep?.

Eg: Jack and Jill went up the hill
Jack and Jill were best friends
Humpty and Dumpty were good friends too
----------

I want to extract the 2nd statement(assuming there are several statements with 'friends' pattern)..so I want to match the all the patterns
like 'Jack', 'Jill' and 'friends'

Thx !

You have to use egrep for that, for ex:
egrep -e "Jack|Jill|friends"

you can use awk also

Code:

awk '/Jack/&&/Jill/&&/friends/{print $0}' filename

this will give the lines containing Jack or Jill or friends
i don't think anduzzi want that

Hi guys...thx for the responses...really appreciate !
But none is working in my scenario..
well here is what I have practically:

mp ifile PDEWS001.S1_C1_Dim_Input_File 'file:'"${INPUT}"'/ssim_svc_type.csv'

mp ifile PDEWS001.S2_C4_CURRENT 'file:'"${DATA}"'/'"${AB_GRAPH_NAME}"'_s2_c4_current.dat'

well....I don't want the second line here...I just need the entire line that has the combination of both 'ifile' and 'INPUT' but not 'ifile' and 'DATA'.
I tried both of the above suggested egrep and awk and it doesnt work.

please suggest !

Well you could do some thing like
awk '/ifile/&&/INPUT/ {print $0}' FILENAME|grep -v DATA

no need for 'grep' and 'print $0':

Code:

awk '/ifile/&&/INPUT/ && !/DATA/' FILENAME
