How do I do that? Like "^(*[LOG]*)$" or what...?

grep LOG [filename]

I think you're trying to make this more complicated than it is. Now if you want LOG to be a word by itself, then:

grep ' LOG ' [filename]

Of if it can be at the beginning or end of a line...

grep '\bLOG\b' [filename]


good luck,

Thanks for the tip, but I knew about grep already.
It's because of an application that has a search and replace function which supports regular expressions...
