Re: shell grep

This could be easy or more difficult,
depending on exactly what's quoted in the
file. Can you provide a sample?

Re: shell grep

Do you have multiple quote parts on each line?
You could do:
grep '".*stuff.*"' file
But this would find stuff1 and stuff2:
not here " stuff1 " but not stuff2 " more "
