Problem with grep Regex Error

Hi There

im trying to write a script to extract out errors in my log file. facing a problem right now. this is how my script will look like:

#!/bin/csh

setenv date `date '+%Y/%m/%d'`
setenv today `date '+%d%m%Y'`
setenv time `date '+%H%M'`
setenv log /local/xxxxx/log

cd $log

/usr/xpg4/bin/grep -E 'Error | $date' error_log > $log/xxxx_log.$today.$time

This is the error i get:

%scripts> ./log_check.csh
grep: RE error in Error | $date unknown regex error

any suggestion?

thanks

wee
