Introduction

Grep is one of the most useful tools we can use when administering a unix-based machine: its job is to search for a given pattern inside one or more files and return existing matches.

In this tutorial we will see how to use it, and we will examine also its variants: egrep and fgrep. We will put this really famous excerpt from the book "The Lord Of The Rings" on a file, and we will use as a target for our examples: 
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
The file will be called lotr.txt.
