An example below illustrates a query using FIX Grep: “find all execution reports of type “filled” for account that starts with “ABC” received on November 10, 2008”:

fixgrep “35=8 1=ABC.* 150=2” -f “*.in” –t “52” “20081110-00:00:01” “20081110-23:59:59”

cat “.in" | fixgrep "1=ABC.” | fixgrep -sw " " --order-status-list
