multiple commands grep

I want to search through file gdb.txt for the following assembly expression:

    call DWORD PTR [EDI]

but doing

   grep -e "call DWORD PTR [EDI]" -f gdb.txt

doesn't return anything. Ideas?

You need to escape the open-bracket, which is a special regular expression character. Also, the -f option doesn't do what you think it does. You just need to specify your file after the pattern. Also, you don't even really need the -e. So it comes down to this:

grep "call DWORD PTR \[EDI]" gdb.txt
