grep for exact match

[clifford]

Hey guys,

I am creating a new shell script for myself. I need to grep for exact match.
What I have is this:

who | grep '^cbs'

However this retrieves all the id which start with cbs but i want an exact match.

Any help appreciated././

PHP Code:

who | awk '{print $1}' | grep -x 'cbs' 


should gather what you are after...
