One reply on “In case you thought that “Unix Wizard” was just an expression…”
Grepping for any symbol (.) is not a very meaningful thing. I guess he just wanted the list of droids without r2-d2 or c-3p0 in their lines. That could be achieved by just using egrep or grep -E: `grep -vE r2-d2|c-3p0 < droids.txt`. Or, more conventionally, sed: `sed '/r2-d2\|c-3p0/' < droids.txt`
