    Are you doing something like this?

    cat file.txt | grep 82.44.203.222.82681071601925321 > file1.out

    or

    grep 82.44.203.222.82681071601925321 file.txt > file1.out

    In any case you think any char is making a diference in grep command, put
    the string into double quotes, like this:

    cat file.txt | grep "82.44.203.222.82681071601925321" > file1.out

    or

    grep "82.44.203.222.82681071601925321" file.txt > file1.out

            Subject: Grep Question

    Hi *,
           I want to search for a string (82.44.203.222.82681071601925321)
    from
    a file. i have around 150 similar number , so i am using a script to do
    this...my script does not create file even after redirecting...can some
    let
    me know where am i failing.

    i think when i am doing grep it takes .(dot) in the literal meaning.

    TIA
    Praveen
