Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer a)
grep stands for Global Regular Expressions Print but egrep stands for Extended Global Regular Expressions Print

When we use grep for pattern search for the symbols cannot be done directly we have to use the backslash but in egrep the symbols are the meta characters which we can use directly without backslash.

grep -E is same as egrep

Answer b)

ls ??[xy]*

here ?? means any character for the first two characters and for the third letter [xy] means either x or y then * means any character after x or y.
