Problem with searching for a string.<br />
<br />
EX:<br />
<br />
when i do a search such as &nbsp; &nbsp; grep keyword1.keyword2.keyword3<wbr /> &nbsp;filetosearch<br />
I want to get only lines that match that exact string but i get all lines that match that and any part of the string.<br />
<br />
I've also tried &nbsp;grep 'keyword1.keyword2.keyword<wbr />3' &nbsp;filetosearch &nbsp;and grep &quot;keyword1.keyword2.keyword<wbr />3&quot; &nbsp;filetosearch<br />
but same results each way.<br />
<br />
How can i tell grep to ONLY give me the exact quote and nothing else.<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
