Hi Team,

Could you please help me to create one regular _expression_. I think this (*) special character has not handled in egrep. because i have tried it many ways but couldn't get required _expression_.

Could you please help me in this.

Problem : File contains following lines:
#* hard maxlogins 10
@Student hard maxlogins 10
* hard maxlogins 10
hard maxlogins 10
#* hard maxlogins 1024

I want to find only below line from above file. but * is not handling in regular _expression_:
* hard maxlogins 10

10 can be replaced by any value. and hard can be - as well. I want to these cases as well.

Thanks & Regards,

Machindra Dharmadhikari
