abc there is a nine digit number i need only a egrep pattern which
matches all the numbers starting with 0 or 1
except 112345678 and 112345677
eg
abcdef112345678
acvgtb112345677
werttyq112345673
weerwq233434334
yhukot02345678
abcdef123456789
my output shuild contain
werttyq112345673
yhukot02345678
abcdef123456789
and not
abcdef112345678
acvgtb112345677

"yhukot02345678" does not contain 9 digits.
If you need a single grep pattern, this will work:
(^|[^0-9])(0[0-9]{8}|1[02-9][0-9]{7}|11[013-9][0-9]{6}|112[0 -24-9][0-9]{5}|1123[0-35-9][0-9]{4}|11234[0-46-9][0-9]{3}|11 2345[0-57-9][0-9]{2}|1123456[0-689][0-9]|11234567[0-69])($|[ ^0-9])

Thanks ,but I should not use pipe all should be done in one egrep

Your input file contains an eight digit number, too.
What is the minimum length then?

ITYM "Your OUTPUT file contains an eight digit number, too.".
I also don't see why abcdef112345678 and acvgtb112345677 are NOT part of his
expected output since they both contain 9-digit numbers starting with 1.

and what is the pattern you're REALLY trying to match?

There's a one-character typo. It should be pretty easy to see and fix,
so that's left as an exercise for the reader.

Thanks all for helping me
I just have a huge file in that there is a 9 digit number
this 9 digit number is followed after a decimal point
the decimal point space is 3
ie
12.345then my 9 digit number starts
my requirement is as below
i need to split the main file into many files using only one egrep no
pipe
say the 9 digit number is an account number
then i need all the account number starting with one
but say 123456789 should be in one file
and wsay 134567827 should be in another file
and the rest which has account number 1 as starting should be in one
file
account 2 in another file again 231456789 and 298765431 another file
etc
like that
all o accounts in 1 file
all 1 account in 1 file except 123456789 134567827
134567827 in i file
123456789 in 1 file
all 2 account in one file
again exclude some accounts
like that characters from 0-9
Please help
thanks in advance

Without pipe and bash 3.x:
egrep '^[^0-9]*[0-1]' <(egrep -v '^[^0-9]*(112345678|112345677)' FILENAME)
With one egrep:
egrep -v '^[^0-9]*(112345678|112345677|[2-9])' FILENAME

The OP emailed me privately asking about that pattern. I'll break it
down for his and others' benefit.
The requirement (as I interpreted it) was for "any 9 digit number
starting with 0 or 1, except 112345678 and 112345677".
Basic regular expressions (unlike the advanced regular expressions many
scripting languages have imlemented, notably Perl) don't have the
feature to say "look ahead of my current position in the string for
pattern xyz". Using Perl, I could write:
perl -ne 'print if /(?!11234567[78])[01]\d{8}/' filename
With egrep, one has to be "positive" about what you're looking for (no
"negative lookahead"). Breaking the above long pattern into pieces, we
can see how it meets the requirement:
(^|[^0-9]) -- the beginning of the string, or a non-digit
(to mark the start of digits)
0[0-9]{8} -- a 9-digit number beginning with 0,
1[02-9][0-9]{7} -- 1 then any digit except 1 then any 7 digits,
11[013-9][0-9]{6} -- 11 then any digit except 2 then any 6 digits,
112[0-24-9][0-9]{5} -- 112 then any digit except 3 then any 5 digits,
1123[0-35-9][0-9]{4} -- 1123 then any digit except 4 then any 4 digits,
11234[0-46-9][0-9]{3} -- 11234 then any digit except 5 then any 3 digits,
112345[0-57-9][0-9]{2} -- 112345 then any digit except 6 then any 2 digits,
1123456[0-689][0-9] -- 1123456 then any digit except 7 then a digit,
11234567[0-69] -- 11234567 then any digit except 7 or 8
($|[^0-9]) -- the end of the string, or a non-digit
(to mark the end of digits)
