[SATLUG] using grep

[Jose Calderon]

Have you tried wildcards?  Maybe something like:
$grep -c [15:**:**] tmpIEEE-17.txt

I'm not as familiar with all the options as I'd like so I don't know if this
will work but I hope this helps.

BTW, I never introduced myself properly.  My name is Jose Calderon and I'm a
full-time student at UTSA and part-time lab tech at SAC.  I've worked with
UNIX before and started learning Linux a few months ago.

Jose
