Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
After a little more research, I found out that the line containing the word 'gamito' is huge and yet it scrolls so fast in the screen that I can barely see it.
I tried redirecting the output of the grep to a file and that huge line went in to it.
So, I've tried a double grep:
$ grep 'gamito' file | grep 'gamito'
but without success.
Well, my question now is, how do I get the word 'gamito' alone from the file ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

What is the return status (echo ??). If you had a file with "gamito\r " then it would print what looked like a blank line, I think. So is this maybe a Mac file? Which version of grep, etc., etc. Do "where grep".
it returns nothing. Yet, if I run $ grep -c 'gamito' file
It returns 1 which is right.
