in reply to grep with multiple choice
Sorry sroy5, but I've read that 5 times and I'm still non-the-wiser to what you're actually trying to do. I'll wait to be proved wrong, but I think you'll have to expand your description of what you're doing before you'll get a reasonable answer here.
It might be worth your time reading through this too... I know what I mean. Why don't you?
