Grepping lines with multiple matches

I want to filter log files by matching lines that contains all of  set of matches (I don’t want to alternate them).

For example lines like:

RawURL /1.2/user/authorize?ip=10.254.142.175&method=GET

I want to match lines that contain the terms “RawURL” and “/1.2/user/authorize?” without resorting to piping multiple greps:

$ grep RawURL | grep /1.2/user/authorize? *.txt

This means I want a regexp like:

RawURL.+\/1.2\/user\/authorize

Translating to grep extended regex, this becomes:

$ grep -E RawURL.+/1.2/user/authorize *.txt

Note: There is no need to enforce non-greedy matching.

Regular expressions, character classes and special characters

The expression:

RawURL.+\/1.2\/user\/authorize

Is not equivalent to:

RawURL[.]+\/1.2\/user\/authorize

Because in the second one, the special character ‘.’ is no longer special. Character classes have all special characters turned off.
