Grep - UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi

grep hello file1.txt
grep £ file1.txt

I am trying to grep both in one command. But I am failing to get the result by

grep hello|£ file1.txt

Can anyone correct it ?

Hi

you can try this instead

grep -e hello -e £ file1.txt

With egrep:

Code:

egrep 'hello|£' file
