Hammer & Screwdriver Need to lowercase the text
Code:
> egrep -e "^Profit|^End|^Start" file28

1

> egrep -e "^profit|^end|^start" file28
start of day: -2 5
end of day: 5 4
profit: 2 -1
start of day: 0 0
end of day: 0 0
profit: 0 0
start of day: 0 0
end of day: 0 0
profit: 0 0
> echo $?
0

I did not notice those words were all in lowercase.
