I use grep to check for this 'or' that
(grep -E 'Value1 | Value2' )

BUT how can I test for an the 'and' condition?
I tried grep -E 'Value1 & Value2', but nothing is returned

I'm using HP-UX 11
Thanks

Could you not use egrep?

egrep "Value1.*Value2|Value2.*Value1"

Same thing as 'grep -E'... According to HP-UX docs for many years 'egrep is
deprecated'.
