  • Search for a pattern within a file:
    egrep "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for a pattern within multiple files:
    egrep "search_pattern" path/to/file1 path/to/file2 path/to/file3
  • Search `stdin` for a pattern:
    cat path/to/file | egrep search_pattern
  • Print file name and line number for each match:
    egrep --with-filename --line-number "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for a pattern in all files recursively in a directory, ignoring binary files:
    egrep --recursive --binary-files=without-match "search_pattern" path/to/directory
  • Search for lines that do not match a pattern:
    egrep --invert-match "search_pattern" path/to/file
