Grep

[Hema Bhutani]

Hi,

 

I have a Query regarding Grep utility.

 

How can i search for special characters like

New line and Tab ??

 

For example I have a file with contents as:

 

XYZ=    "abc"        ( the space after equal to sign is actually a Tab character)

 

So what will be the grammer for searching the complete string ??

 

I have tried:

 

grep -iw "XYZ[ ]*=[ ]*\"abc\""

 

This does not work.

Kindly sent the exact grammar that should be used.

 

Thanks
