EDIT: Crossed with Methyl; I made the assumption that the 'article' could be treated as a division. Of course, if that assumption is wrong it all goes out the window.
Anyone is well-versed to use egrep to search a file for a line containing both:
1) AAA
2) $
I am having problem escaping the dollar sign when using egrep in conjunction with satisfying AAA as well.
E.g. Text file
Line 1 AAA
Line 2 $$$
Line 3 AAA BBB $
Line 4 $$$ BBB AA

expire.ctl
EXPIRE.CTL(5) File Formats Manual EXPIRE.CTL(5)NAME
expire.ctl - control file for Usenet article expiration
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/news/expire.ctl is the default control file for the expire(8) program, which reads it at start-up. Blank lines and lines
beginning with a number sign (``#'') are ignored. All other lines should be in one of two formats.
The first format specifies how long to keep a record of fully-expired articles. This is useful when a newsfeed intermittently offers older
news that is not kept around very long. (The case of very old news is handled by the ``-c'' flag of innd(8).) There should only be one
line in this format, which looks like this:
/remember/:days
Where days is a floating-point number that specifies the upper limit to remember a Message-ID, even if the article has already expired.
(It does not affect article expirations.)
Most of the lines in the file will consist of five colon-separated fields, as follows:
pattern:modflag:keep:default:purge
The pattern field is a list of wildmat(3)-style patterns, separated by commas. This field specifies the newsgroups to which the line is
applied. Note that the file is interpreted in order, so that the last line that matches will be used. This means that general patterns
(like a single asterisk to set the defaults) should appear before specific group specifications.
The modflag field can be used to further limit newsgroups to which the line applies, and should be chosen from the following set:
M Only moderated groups
U Only unmoderated groups
A All groups
The next three fields are used to determine how long an article should be kept. Each field should be either a number of days (fractions
like ``8.5'' are allowed) or the word ``never.'' The most common use is to specify the default value for how long an article should be
kept. The first and third fields -- keep and purge -- specify the boundaries within which an Expires header will be honored. They are
ignored if an article has no Expires header. The fields are specified in the file as ``lower-bound default upper-bound,'' and they are
explained in this order. Since most articles do not have explicit expiration dates, however, the second field tends to be the most impor-
tant one.
The keep field specifies how many days an article should be kept before it will be removed. No article in the newsgroup will be removed if
it has been filed for less then keep days, regardless of any expiration date. If this field is the word ``never'' then an article cannot
have been kept for enough days so it will never be expired.
The default field specifies how long to keep an article if no Expires header is present. If this field is the word ``never'' then articles
without explicit expiration dates will never be expired.
The purge field specifies the upper bound on how long an article can be kept. No article will be kept longer then the number of days spec-
ified by this field. All articles will be removed after then have been kept for purge days. If purge is the word ``never'' then the arti-
cle will never be deleted.
It is often useful to honor the expiration headers in articles, especially those in moderated groups. To do this, set keep to zero,
default to whatever value you wish, and purge to never. To ignore any Expires header, set all three fields to the same value.
There must be exactly one line with a pattern of ``*'' and a modflags of ``A'' -- this matches all groups and is used to set the expiration
default. It should be the first expiration line.
For example,
## How long to keep expired history
/remember/:5
## Most things stay for two weeks
*:A:14:14:14
## Believe expiration dates in moderated groups, up to six weeks
*:M:1:30:42
## Keep local stuff for a long time
foo.*:A:30:30:30
