Scripting issue - 2

Dewa Negara_4 — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 09:41:34 GMT

Hi All,

I have a file called file1 as below:

#more file1
passwd.hp_sap_is_tmp@bdhp4297:cane*p:UNKN APP,C/O THYS/DT,NL,,
passwd.hp_sap_is_tmp@bdhp4337:cane*p:UNKN APP,C/O THYS/DT,NL,,
passwd.hp_sap_is_tmp@bdhp4338:test:UNKN APP,C/O THYS/DT,NL,,

When I tried to grep "cane*p" using command #grep "cane*p" file1 or #grep 'cane*p' file1, it gave me nothing.

How can I grep "cane*p" from file1, so the output will be as below:
passwd.hp_sap_is_tmp@bdhp4297:cane*p:UNKN APP,C/O THYS/DT,NL,,
passwd.hp_sap_is_tmp@bdhp4337:cane*p:UNKN APP,C/O THYS/DT,NL,,

Please help.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Dewa
