Weyrich) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions Subject: How do I search for apostrophe using egrep? Message-ID: <1991Jun25.074801.517@weyrich.UUCP> Date: 25 Jun 91 07:48:01 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Weyrich Computer Consulting Lines: 21 I have been trying to make egrep search for words which are enclosed in apostrophes, for example 'hello'. I can't seem to get this to work. Will some kind soul tell me how to do this? I am running Microport System V/386 rev 3. Thanks. Orville. -------------------------------------- ****************************** Orville R.
