currently am searching by using /BDBO and than /sh.help me to find both pattern by using single command or script.
Thanks.

Code:

Esc
/BDBO\|sh

The vi utility is not intended for use in scripts. What do you intend to do once you have found BDBO and sh.help?

Are you looking for BDBO before sh.help on the same line in a file? Are you looking for both on the same line in any order? Are you looking for sh.help on a line in the file after a line that contains BDBO?

What do you want to happen if there is more than one occurrence of these strings in a file?

first i want to find "BDBO" than "sh" in a same file.

its ok if multi occurance

So you find BDBO and then you find sh (or sh.help). Then what do you want to do?

After you have found BDBO, does sh have to be on the same line? On a later line in the file? On an earlier line in the file?

Most people use an editor to make changes to a file; not just search for two strings? What are you trying to do?

What constitutes a record? Is a line a record? Does sh have to come after BDBO in a record?

yes its record of string e.g BDBO;Isn10002;CurEUR;s4;MSi;sh.....
there are thousands of record in a file.i have to find such record which contain BDBO and sh
