Use of grep with multiple parameters in shell scripts
I am learning how to write shell scripts and have come across an issue. I'm trying to write a script that looks for a directory called public_html, and if it finds one, to print the number of lines that contain applet tags (containing '<applet') in all files that end in either .html or .htm that are under the public_html directory . Here's what I have so far:
[ -d public_html ] || echo no website here
[ -d public_html ] && `grep -e .*\<applet.* -e \.html$ -e \.htm$ public_html`
I know that the first line works, but I have doubts about the second. I'm sure that the problem is in my use of grep, but beyond that I'm stumped.
Any ideas?

All,
Is is possible to grep on two parameters in a file:
ex: If data in a file(GROCERIES.TXT) were like this
ABC GROCERIES 38-904949 16 987.89
Then grep would be
grep '38-904040' '16' GROCERIES.TXT
Thanks
