grep reg exp
 
How would I use a unix grep regular expression to find any two capital letters side by side and how would I find an expected comma in an expected spot? Thanks for any and all replies.

Garret, you said in your thread that I moved to GENERAL that you
feel your course left you ill equipped to solve your quizzes.

As far as regular expressions go there are a few very good on-line
tutorials 1) 2), and if you have some money to spare I'd recommend you
get O'Reilly's "Mastering regular expressions" by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl.


Cheers,
Tink
