using egrep to find multiple string

Comment:

Hi, I am trying to grep for the text matches of the following in our source codes. ADD CBP ADD CBV WRITE CBP WRITE CBV The source components may end with *.bv or *.cpy or *.mac. I used find and egrep, but I am not able to search the above patterns. This is the command I used. find /met /page \( -name '*.bv' -o -name '*.cpy' -o -name '*.mac' \) -exec egrep -il '(ADD|WRITE CB[PV])' {} \; 2>/dev/null But the above command doesn't work unless I remove the CB[PV]. However I need to search for ADD CBP, ADD CBV, WRITE CBP and WRITE CBV. Can some one help me how to acheive this? Thanks, Balaji.

Never mind. I figured out the solution which is given below. find /met/le \( -name '*.bv' -o -name '*.cpy' -o -name '*.mac' \) -exec egrep -i '(ADD|WRITE)(CBP|CBV)' {} \; 2>/dev/null Thanks, Balaji.
