Egrep -v command not filtering correctly
Hello guys,

I have an issue when trying to do an egrep -v on a file, let me show you.
I want to filter the last column as to where it filters out the columns with asterisks and zeros ( * and 0 ) it is working properly up to a certain point where I have a value of '10000' which is also getting filtered by the '0'.

This is the result:
e.g.
Code:
$ egrep -v "\*|0" grep.txt
Queue                                        Get  Put  CurDepth
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE                     EN   EN   712
WDW_ORDERS_ONEVIEW_Q                         EN   EN   1

This is the original list:
Code:

if you are able to see there is another column with a '10000' in the last column which should also be filtered in the first egrep -v result and is not showing.

can someone please help, I have tried also a awk syntax but to no avail, it keeps showin only 2 results instead of 3.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys.

xzgrep

XZGREP(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZGREP(1)

NAME

       xzgrep - search compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       xzgrep [grep_options] [-e] pattern file...
       xzegrep ...
       xzfgrep ...
       lzgrep ...
       lzegrep ...
       lzfgrep ...

DESCRIPTION

       xzgrep  invokes	grep(1)  on  files  which may be either uncompressed or compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1).  All options
       specified are passed directly to grep(1).

       If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed  to  grep(1).   When  reading  from  standard  input,
       gzip(1) and bzip2(1) compressed files are not supported.

       If  xzgrep  is  invoked as xzegrep or xzfgrep then egrep(1) or fgrep(1) is used instead of grep(1).  The same applies to names lzgrep, lze-
       grep, and lzfgrep, which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

ENVIRONMENT

       GREP   If the GREP environment variable is set, xzgrep uses it instead of grep(1), egrep(1), or fgrep(1).

SEE ALSO

       grep(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), zgrep(1)
