Grep lines with numbers greater than 2 digits at the end of the line
I'm trying to grep lines where the digits at the end of each line are greater than digits. Tried this but it will only allow me to specify 2 digits. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.
Code:
 grep -i '\<[0-9]\{3,4,5\}\>' file

OK, I got it, this works
Code:
grep '[0-9]..'$

Code:
grep '[0-9]..'$

Code:
grep '[0-9]..'$

will match a digit followed by any two characters at the end of a line. If what you want is three digits at the end of a line, try:
Code:
grep '[0-9][0-9][0-9]$'

or
Code:
grep -E '[0-9]{3}$'
