Egrep Doubt

Hi,

I am confused about what this egrep pattern match is exactly looking for.

egrep '(^| )([^ /@]*[^ /@.]/[^ /@]+)( |$|@)'egrep '(^| )([^ /@]*[^ /@.]/[^ /@]+)( |$|@)'.

Will you someone please help me

Thanks.
Venkatesh PS

I guess that is just a typo posting the egrep plus the regexp twice.

Maybe have a look into this and find out yourself. If you get stuck again, don't hesitate to ask:
