Grep

i have content like this printmanager&_PAGESIZE=25&_USERNAME=PDC\rlawson&_FINDKEYFIELD=TOKEN
I do
grep -w "USERNAME=PDC\rlawson" and did not get anything. Any idea? Thank you much in advanced!

found my resolution.

grep "USERNAME=PDC\\\rlawson"

So I need to add 2 slashes. Thanks anyway!

Thanks for the solution.

I think it is

grep -w "USERNAME=PDC\\\\rlawson"

Within " " the shell needs \\ for a \, and grep needs \\ for a \
Or

grep -w 'USERNAME=PDC\\rlawson'

Within ' ' the shell takes \ as is, only grep needs \\ for a \
