I'm trying to grep the output of pkg_info to show me lines containing "libglade" OR "rep-gtk". In reading the man page, I see that | is the "infix" (OR) operator. What is the correct syntax to use this command? Everyway I have tried it, the shell sees | as a pipe and not the infix operator. Here's some of the commands I've tried: milkmaker# pkg_info | grep libglade|rep-gtk rep-gtk: Command not found. milkmaker# pkg_info | grep "libglade"|"rep-gtk" rep-gtk: Command not found. milkmaker# pkg_info | grep ['libglade'|'rep-gtk'] grep: Unmatched [ or [^ milkmaker# pkg_info | grep [libglade|rep-gtk] grep: Unmatched [ or [^ milkmaker# pkg_info | grep [libglade] | [rep-gtk] grep: No match. [rep-gtk]: No match. Help! :) Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
