Please use `<c>...</c>` around computer text (data, code, output, etc). `[17/Aug/2010:14:58:39 +0000] conn=102837 op=0 msgId=13496 - MOD xxxxxx +xx [17/Aug/2010:15:27:16 +0000] conn=102837 op=0 msgId=21769 - DEL xxxxxx` [download] i just want to grep all the lines with the word "MOD" and "DEL" from the tail command ..can you help me? You just said your file had no such line. It sounds like you want to keep all the lines that have the word "MOD" or the word "DEL". You already posted code to do that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you don't have any lines that contain both MOD and DEL in your file, then `grep MOD \| grep DEL` not printing anything seems quite correct to me. Let me ask it this way, given the file with no lines containing MOD and DEL, which lines do you want to have printed?	[reply] [d/l]
