fgrep -i "Yaddah" dec0924.log That would be a straightforward substitution. Then you can turn to egrep when you actually want to do some regular expression work; I keep it pretty simple, on the order of: egrep -i "subject.+yadda" dec0924.log And that works for me. Knowing find and grep is useful when you travel to different client sites; also useful is keeping favourite tools on a USB stick.
