In this post, we will see how to grep multiple Strings in linux.
Let’s say your application is deployed on linux machine and you need do analysis of log file and you need to find lines with the specific words in it.
For example: you want to find all the lines with "WARNING" or "DEBUG" words in it.
I will try to provide these commands with the help of examples.I have created a sample log file which we are going to use for our commands.
Sample log file applicationLog.log

You can use follow command as well if want to avoid escape character.
$ egrep ‘DEBUG|ERROR’ applicationLog.log
2. Command to find “INFO” and “DEBUG” in applicationLog.log file.
$ grep ‘INFO.*DEBUG\|DEBUG.*INFO’ applicationLog.log
2017-04-28 14:20:13.966 INFO-DEBUG 1051 — [ main] o.s.w.s.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping : Mapped URL path [/webjars/**] onto handler of type [class org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.ResourceHttpRequestHandler]
3. Command to find “INFO” and “DEBUG” with line number in applicationLog.log file.
You can use -n option to display line numbers.
$ grep -n ‘INFO.*DEBUG\|DEBUG.*INFO’ applicationLog.log
21:2017-04-28 14:20:13.966 INFO-DEBUG 1051 — [ main] o.s.w.s.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping : Mapped URL path [/webjars/**] onto handler of type [class org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.ResourceHttpRequestHandler]
4.Command to find “ERROR” or “DEBUG” witn case insensitive in applicationLog.log file in applicationLog.log file
You can use -i option to achive case insensesitive.
$ grep -i ‘DEBUG\|ERROR’ applicationLog.log
5.Command to find “ERROR” or “DEBUG” in all logs files in the current folder in applicationLog.log file
$ grep ‘DEBUG\|ERROR’ *.log
That’s all about grep multiple Strings in linux.
