Help regarding piping

[charanv]

Hi all,

I am charan and I am new to the world of Linux. I am currently searching a log files server.log, server1.log, server2.log which has the following format NAME (title), DATE (dd/mm/yy), ERROR (error number), etc. I need to search for the lines with ERROR: 128, NAME: mobile, DATE: 15/10/10. I know that its present in one the files but not sure which one.

I am using grep and nothing shows at all.

grep 15/10/10 *.log | grep mobile | grep 128

Please help with this issue and I thank you all in advance for your help.

Thanks
Charan

You have to escape the '/' character by preceeding it with a '\' character. Try this:

cat *.log | grep 15\/10\/10 | grep mobile | grep 128
