Grep and Egrep
Used to find patterns within streams. Egrep contains a more powerful expression handler for more complex patterns. Though grep is smaller and less functional, traditional (Unix) egrep is faster.
e.g.
egrep '^He.*ere$' <<TAG
This is a test
Hello there
Goodbye there
Hello there again
TAG
--> Hello there
