Grep question.
Hi,
I am executing the below command. grep ".UPDATE" file1.txt | grep -v MQQUEUE > Myprog1 The expected output is all lines in file1.txt which have the string ".UPDATE" and dont contain the string MQQUEUE. However, the output which I am getting is just searching for the string "UPDATE" instead of ".UPDATE". Please advise where I am going wrong. TIA. Saurabh

'.' means the same thing as 'any one character' in a regular expression. Escape the '.' by either putting a \ in front of it or using single quotes instead of double quotes.
