    How do I add a blank space to the egrep below? I want to search for
    port 25 and a blank? It must be an exact match 25 with a trailing blank.
    That is my search criteria. Currently anything that begins with 25 is returned.

    ex: 256 2567 25555 I only want matches on 25 and a space.


    egrep "to outside:[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\/25" /var/log/messages

    For some reason that doesn't work . It returns no matches. If you have a second try it out with my line.

    Thanks,
