Thanks Franklin,
but the space between the words is not consistent. Is there any method to overcome the no of spaces. Some where the Date is written as DATE and I need those also

Code:
grep -ni "Date.*Sex.*Address" file

I have used egrep -n "Date|Sex|Address" and it is not working where Date is occuring multiple times. Please suggest what to use egrep pattern1 and pattern2
