I have exported
LOGAME=/TESTXXX
O_M=/dev/vgibbs/lvxxx

I am trying to egrep the same along with bdf as

bdf |-egrep -w '$LOGNAME|${O_M}' *** ( I want to grep both pattern with variable )

However the same is giving "egrep: $ anchor not at end of pattern."

The above output works if I give bdf |-egrep -w 'TESTXXX|/dev/vgibbs/lvxxx'

I want the above funtionality *** to be called in script, but the same is not giving the desired output .
I am working on HP-UX system and using ksh shell.

I am on to this for long and I am stuck with this. I am waiting for your assistance so as to proceed with creation of my script. This to be made live
by tomorrow.

Thanks and Regds

Change the single quotes to double quotes - these are preventing the variable expansion.

I have already tried that. It's not working. When I call the same in scripts it gives output as :-
+ egrep -w /dev/vgibbsmig/lvxxx|
+ bdf
egrep: Unknown err.

The script is as follows:-
check_org()
{
bdf |egrep -w "${O_FS}|${O_M}"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Original file system mounted "
else
echo "Original NOT MOUNTED"
exit 1
fi
}
