Hello mirwasim,

It is showing like that output because you are giving an OR condition which means any of these words if they are coming into a line then print it(so that is why other than 1st lines are getting printed too because any of the words are coming there), if words sequence will be same as per shown sample Input_file then following may help you in same.
Code:
egrep 'REREGISTER.*Failed.*to.*create.*the.*request'    Input_file

Thanks,
R. Singh

gaelic

GAELIC(5)						     Linux Programmers Manual							 GAELIC(5)

NAME

       gaelic - a list of Scots Gaelic words

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/share/dict/gaelic is an ASCII file which contains an alphabetic list of words, one per line.

FILES

       /etc/dictionaries-common/words  is  a  symbolic	link  to  a  /usr/share/dict/<language> file.  /usr/share/dict/words is a symbolic link to
       /etc/dictionaries-common/words, and is the name by which other software	should	refer  to  the	system	word  list.   See  select-default-
       wordlist(8) for more information.

       The directory /usr/share/dict can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language in English, e.g., /usr/share/dict/french
       and /usr/share/dict/danish contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist.	Such lists should be coded using  the  ISO
       8859-1 character set encoding.

SEE ALSO

       ispell(1), select-default-wordlist(8), and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

HISTORY

       The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number of sources.

       The  system word list used to be /usr/dict/words.  For compatibility, software should check that location if /usr/share/dict/words does not
       exist.
