I want to use grep in the following way:
grep -v "END","EXPDTA" 1bmz_model1.pdb > 1bmz_model.pdb
I want the grep command to remove the lines which contain the words "END" and "EXPDTA", but all i get in the output, is a copy of the original file. The command works fine when I try to search and remove with a single word, but not with two words.

egrep -v "END|EXPDTA" infile > outfile

2Of course, if one is using egrep, one can fulfil the questioner's desire of removing lines with words that match, rather than everything that happens to have the three characters "END" within a larger word. ☺ – JdeBP – 2011-10-27T14:11:17.237
5grep could do that too with grep -v -e END -e EXPDTA .... – ott-- – 2011-10-27T15:27:30.437
2Could you provide some explanation about what your code does? – Tamara Wijsman – 2011-10-31T21:20:34.163
1-v, --invert-match, Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines. – Michael S. – 2012-02-14T11:24:26.460
1-e PATTERN, Use PATTERN as the pattern. This can be used to specify multiple search patterns, or to protect a pattern beginning with a hyphen (-). – Michael S. – 2012-02-14T11:24:51.453

Is that really an AND or an OR? – Paul – 2011-10-27T12:15:18.353
