Grep on multiple parameters
All,

Is is possible to grep on two parameters in a file:

ex: If data in a file(GROCERIES.TXT) were like this

ABC GROCERIES 38-904949 16 987.89


Then grep would be

grep '38-904040' '16' GROCERIES.TXT

Thanks
KP

If you want to get only those lines which have both '38-904040' and '16' you could do it with piping..

grep '38-904040' GROCERIES.TXT | grep '16'

If your version of grep supports, you can try:

grep -e

Code:
$ awk '$0 ~ /38-904949/ && $0 ~ /16/ 1;' GROCERIES.TXT

Cheers

This is "or", I'm sure the OP wants "and".
