Re: grep - searching exact pattern
what about grep -e ....
An alternative would be perl or awk.

Re: grep - searching exact pattern
You want to search for "words"?
The poor man's replacement for grep -w is:
$ grep -e "[[:space:][:punct:]]word[[:space:][:punct:]]"
This may not work for beginning and ending of lines so you may have to add:
-e "^word[[:space:][:punct:]]" -e "[[:space:][:punct:]]word$"
>\
This only works for vi and ex(1).

Re: grep - searching exact pattern
You can try:
grep -x
-x (eXact) Matches are recognized only when the entire input line matches the fixed string or regular expression.
I'm using it on HP-UX 11i

Re: grep - searching exact pattern
I have tried options -F, -x , still doesn't solve my issue. Since my server is in Production, its difficult to install the grep utility.
my requirement is to search pattern "exit"(exactly the same, should not be "#exit") in a file. It can be at any position in the file.
Please guide me..
Thank you,

Re: grep - searching exact pattern
If you want to use 'grep' then Dennis's approach will being you the closest to your needs.
However, you need to _define_ what you mean by a "word". Perl offers one easy way to do this. For example to find the token "localhost" in '/etc/hosts' without regard to case and bracketed by non-word characters (including line endings or beginnings):
# perl -nle 'print if /\blocalhost\b/i' /etc/hosts
If you want case-sensitivity, drop the "i" from the pattern to match.
