Reading from a text file then /grep/output
I have a list of words that I want to grep in many files to see which ones have it and which ones dont.

in the text file I have all the words listed line by line, ex:

list.txt:

check
try this
word1
word2
open space
list ..

I want to grep each line one by one.
like I want it to

grep "check" *.log
grep "try this" *.log
grep "word1" *.log .. etc how can I do this?

and maybe write the output to a file.

I tried that before but it gives me

egrep -f list.txt *.log
egrep: syntax error

works fine under Solaris.
try it with 'grep'.
look into your grep (grep, egrep, fgrep etc) man pages to find a similar switch:
Code:
     -f file
           Take the list of full regular expressions from file.

How can I find the non-matching words(lines) which are in list.txt but not in x.log ?

look for '-v' in 'man grep'
