    Thanks to Todd Willeat, Steve Illgen, Marc Ahrendt, Shyam Hazari, Steffen Jaiser, Richard Wright, Jeff Kell, Angel Saldarriaga, Kenneth Ray, Mames Perry, and Mike Keighley for their responses. As I anticipated, this was something stupid I had done. All suggested one form or the other of these two commands:

    grep -E 'OSS 064|OSS 74' filename
    or
    grep -e "OSS 064" -e "OSS 75" filename

    Of course I tried them all and it still did not work. I found that on my second pattern I had typed a zero instead of a capital O. I was using the ksh to do an escape k instead of re-typing the command. Please forgive me for such a stupid mistake and wasting your time. This list is the best.

    Subject: [HPADM] Grep for multiple patterns in a file

    Hello All,
    I seem to be having a brain block. I need to grep two different patters within a file.

    First Pattern = "OSS 064"
    Second Pattern = "OSS 75"

    Note the spaces after the OSS. I though grep -e pattern1 -e pattern2 filename would work but it doesn't. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
