GREP Command with several arguments
Hi!

$ more file
yoyo haha lili
...

i want to test if a "grep yoyo AND lili" works in this file.
In fact, my script will carry on only if it finds in the same line "yoyo" AND "lili"
How can i do?

Thx!

i haven't seen AND being used.... but u can perhaps use grep -e

# grep -e yoyo -e lili file

Also check the man pages for grep, egrep & fgrep

How about:

grep -q lili file && grep -q yoyo file && print "found both"
