I want to give two search criteria, the files where egrep is seaching in for example
looks like below rows.

With egrep:

search for $var1 OR $var2:

Code:
egrep "[$var1]|[$var2]" file

search for $var1 AND $var2:

Code:
egrep "$var1.*$var2|$var2.*$var1" file

Regards

Actually the examples are wrong. But this is a duplicate of another thread; see https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...-new-post.html

Hi Era,
thank you very much, this should be the solution? var1.*var2|var2.*var1, should this create the AND?

Yes, that checks for var1 and var2 on one and the same line, in any order.
