Searching for strings with dashes with grep

Question

I read a little online but couldn't find an answer. Suppose I have this line (and some other):

    olga gell-er tel-aviv 56 43

I want to use grep to look for a name in a file (let's say it only contains this line at the moment). The thing is I want to look for the exact string, including the "-". so if I search for olga gell , it won't find it in the file.

So far I've tried ($2 $3 are the string from the command line, $1 is the name of the file)

    grep -iwc ^"$2 $3" $1

but this options also finds me olga gell, which I don't want. so how do I fix this?

My command line looks something like this:

    change_team.bash players olga gell Real new2

change_team.bash is the name of the script. players is the file. "olga gell" is the name I'm searching for, and the rest is irrelevant at the moment.

Answer 1

以下解决了您的问题：

./scriptName.sh test olga gell[\w-]

Answer 2

如果名称后总是有空格，则只需将空格作为样式的一部分即可。

grep -iwc ^"$2 $3 " $1
