How do you grep two lines in Unix?

How do I grep for multiple patterns?

  1. Use single quotes in the pattern: grep ‘pattern*’ file1 file2.
  2. Next use extended regular expressions: egrep ‘pattern1|pattern2’ *. py.
  3. Finally, try on older Unix shells/oses: grep -e pattern1 -e pattern2 *. pl.
  4. Another option to grep two strings: grep ‘word1|word2’ input.

How do you replace a double quote in Unix?

Just use ” for the outer quotes in your sed and you can then use ‘ in the replacement. You don’t want “+ unless you might have more than one consecutive ” and you want to replace all of them. If you do, use sed -r “s/\”+/\’/g” .
