from the top of my head. I think you can use somthing like this:
grep -e ^[:alpha:][:digit:]*

Hi gazz1982,

I dont think using a variable name like that should work.

take a look at arrays:

or a more ugly hack:
e="123,456,789"

echo $e | cut...

I think you need to escape the "|".. So grep -e "string1\|string2" filename should work.
