Is there a way to give two different regular expressions in a Grep command?

[Chandan Visweswara]

I am trying to search message logs from CLI. My search query which involves a regular expression is giving thousands of results. We need to further filter the results using another regular expression. Please let me know if we can put two regular expressions in the search query.

Below is how I use grep command: Can I use multiple regular expression separated by a "|" (pipe) symbol

Enter the regular expression to grep.
[]> MID 123456

No - unfortunately - from the CLI on the ESA/SMA - the 'grep' command is not as intuitive as the unix/linux 'grep'.  You would need to push logs off appliance, and then take advantage of an external OS in order to parse through the logs as definitively needed.
