Re: Weird grep behavior -- LINUX400

I believe it's the dang '.' (period) I have the same issues when scouring for PIX messages. It seems to find anything in the space between the periods that matches so the 10.10.10.115 matches your 10.10.1.5 because the 1 exists in the third 10 and th 5 matches the 5 in 115.

I have never taken the time to get beyond this I just ignore those with my mark one eyeball.

I am running the command:
cat ciscofw.log | grep "10.10.1.5"

and getting results such as:

May  4 09:20:04 pixfirewall May 04 2005 09:15:51: %PIX-4-106023: Deny tcp
src inside:10.10.10.115/2396 dst outside:207.46.157.190/80 by access-group
"acl_in"

Any idea why?  I am trying to search for the ip address 10.10.1.5
