I have tried the -E, -F, -x parameters infront of grep but nothing seems to work. Can anybody help please.
I tried by using -w option. Then it displayes only the instances where it is a individual word and not the part of any word.
For Example:

> grep -w "tis" test
sjdlafj tis sdjfa
sdkafjls tis sdafjlks
