make the first your last
Hi I am using grep to interrogate the last command and I want to find users for both tue and wed,

The problem: for some reason the grep command will not allow me to do an or

i.e. last | grep "Mon || Tue" | more will not return any info
last | grep "Mon" | more returns all users for Mon

any ideas i've tried most of the grep variations (-e, "Mon,Tue", grep "Mon" "Tue")

Thankz

Bug Try this...
last | grep -E "Tue | Mon" | more

That seemed to work for me. I should mention that i'm using Fedora Core 3, so I don't know if -E is supported on your platform's grep utility. -E is for "extended REGEX".

If it isn't, try the "egrep" command.
