Can someone help me with a Unix Command?

I am taking an online unix class and I don't have much knowledge about it. I know how to make folders and navigate them to an extent, but I need to do this:





Enter a command to see 6-letter words that begin with a "b" (uppoer or lower-case) and have an "e" as its third letter.





I have been reading and I have no idea how to do this. Please someone help.

Can someone help me with a Unix Command?
egrep '\%26lt;[Bb].e...\%26gt;' filename





the greater than and less than symbols are word anchors.
Reply:Assuming you have word list in a text file called words.txt, for example (one word per line), the following command will do that:





egrep '^[Bb].e...$' words.txt
