`egrep` (**E**xtended **Grep**) is a pattern searching command which belongs to the family of grep functions. It treats the pattern as an extended **regular expression** and prints out the lines that match the pattern.
It works the same way as `$ grep -E` command
It has the following syntax:
`$ egrep [options] pattern [files]` e.g. `$ egrep "search-regex" *.txt`
`fgrep` (**F**ixed **Grep**) command is used for searching fixed-character strings in a file.
It treats meta-characters or regular expressions in the search field as strings. For searching any **direct string** or files having meta-characters, this is the version of grep which should be selected. It works the same way as `$ grep -F` command.
It has the following syntax:
`$ fgrep [options] [string] [files]` e.g. `$ fgrep "search-string" file.txt`
