Full Discussion: egrep query....request for help

Strange, after some more research, it looks like I initially was right with AND/OR... Finally I'll stick by my initial definition.

A pipe in the egrep pattern stands for a delimiter. A double pipe stands for OR.
However egrep will in both cases print the matching line (which contains both patterns).
Let me illustrate this:
Code:
$ egrep --color=always '(Jolly)|(Brewers)' public
Jolly Brewers
$ egrep --color=always '(Jolly)||(Brewers)' public
Jolly Brewers
$

--colour[=WHEN], --color[=WHEN]
Surround the matching string with the marker find in GREP_COLOR
environment variable. WHEN may be `never', `always', or `auto'
