Hi all,
I'm trying to concatenate two command in one line.
Below are the commands;

Code:

ls $variable || grep -i / credit card
if grep "credit card" *.tmp

then ... fi

* variable ="/portal/apll/nad/send"

i wanted to list all files in /portal/apll/nad/send and grep only .tmp files that contains credit card word.

anyone can please guide me on this?

thanks in advance.

Code:

ls $variable | egrep -i 'credit|card|.tmp'

Hope I did get what you're trying to point out. If not, then just explain it a bit more.

If the filenames contain the 'credit card' words You can do sth like this:

Code:

ls $variable/*credit*card*.tmp

To get *.tmp files containing the 'credit card' words inside the file

Code:

grep -l -i 'credit card' $variable/*.tmp
