Ok, no big deal. You can use the x option with grep that says only match
lines in the target that exactly match the pattern as a whole line. THis
would only match whole lines in the target that are exactly like the
whole lines in the pattern. You could also give w which says match only if
the pattern matches the target as a whole word.
OR
you can use the E option and use a regular expression.
No need to use sed or awk at all for this.
