Guys,

I am sorry to ask such a newbie question, and my eyes are crossed, no caffeine, and I have try everything on the man pages and my serveral books and I am not getting the answer.

Ok. Here are my two question, and two question they yet be.

I need to know the flag for grep to get the exact phrase, for payne.

when I do grep for payne...I like this...

cpayne
cepayne
payne
apayne

I know it got to be simple.

egrep '\<payne\>' whatever-file.txt

Also, why can I do this zgrep -c, how can I get a count with zgrep.

Can you post an example of a complete command and the error message that
you get?

Florian,

Sure. Been getting hard on my server. So I been going thur my daily log logs looking for lost connection, so I am trying to get a daily count of of those. So I was trying...

zgrep 'lost connection' /var/log/mail-20070925.gz -c
