LOL. I should be more familiar with Linux than I am. I had heard of egrep, but never encountered it. Nor did I know that grep could not perform such a contortion. But surmising that \| meant something like OR in a search, it seemed obvious that you gave me a command sequence based on something other than bash. That conclusion was perhaps wrong, but the OR conclusion was not.

I am thankful for your willingness to try to help.
