in reply to Re^2: grep for lines containg two variables
in thread grep for lines containg two variables

What if one string is contained in the other but should not be counted?

That's tricky. Do you really want that? I don't have the time right now to spend the effort on a what-if you won't use.

Do you need to lookahead on both strings?

No, it's optional on the last one. If you had 4 strings, you'd need the lookahead on the first three, but it would be optional on the fourth.

    Nah I don't want any of it, just commenting.

    If you are looking for whole words then you could use spaces around your searches but else it would be a real pain I'd agree.
