Hello Kelly,
Your right the script does work but my problem is this
the file I am searching looks like this below.
And if I search on [EMAIL PROTECTED] alone it does not find it but
if I search on [EMAIL PROTECTED] yourns it finds it. I need it
to find just the email address not the stuff after it.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] yourns
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root
[EMAIL PROTECTED] majordomo_site1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] owner-majordomo_site15
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sys
