suppose i have multiple lines like below and i want to grep lines having "code" only after fixed pattern "/dir1/dir2/100.10/dir3/100.20/" . i have tried using grep "/code/",but it is giving all the lines containing the match elsewhere. please help 

/dir1/dir2/100.10/dir3/100.20/code/abc/def.txt
/dir1/dir2/100.10/dir3/100.20/code/def/ghi.txt

    What prevents you from grepping for /dir1/dir2/100.10/dir3/100.20/code then?

    It's doing exactly what you're telling it to do since code (heh) is in the examples you. grep works conceptionally the same way as the utility, so you need to define a regexp that's sufficiently selective.
