my original solution was $ egrep "<VirtualHost|ServerName" *.conf it appears that you switched it around to using a pipe just to avoid having the filenames printed, yes? check the man page for egrep -- there is a "-h" option that handles this, and if you can avoid using a pipe, technically, it's always a faster solution (although admittedly it wouldn't be noticeable in practice). rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
