# Grep For Multiple Patterns You can use the `-e` flag with the `grep` command to search for a pattern. Additionally, you can use multiple `-e` flags to search for multiple patterns. For instance, if you want to search for occurrences of `ruby` and `clojure` in a `README.md` file, use the following command: ``` $ grep -e ruby -e clojure README.md ``` See `man grep` for more details.
