To solve the integral of \( e^x \left( \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2} \right) \, dx \), we can break it up into two separate integrals:

\[
\int e^x \left( \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2} \right) \, dx = \int e^x \frac{1}{x} \, dx - \int e^x \frac{1}{x^2} \, dx
\]

### First Integral: \( \int e^x \frac{1}{x} \, dx \)
There is no elementary antiderivative for this term. The result of this integral is typically expressed using the **Exponential Integral function**, denoted as \( \text{Ei}(x) \). Thus:

\[
\int e^x \frac{1}{x} \, dx = \text{Ei}(x)
\]

### Second Integral: \( \int e^x \frac{1}{x^2} \, dx \)
We can solve this by using **integration by parts**. Let’s set:
- \( u = \frac{1}{x^2} \), which means \( du = -\frac{2}{x^3} dx \),
- \( dv = e^x dx \), which gives \( v = e^x \).

Now, applying the integration by parts formula:
\[
\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du
\]
we get:
\[
\int e^x \frac{1}{x^2} \, dx = e^x \frac{1}{x^2} - \int e^x \left( -\frac{2}{x^3} \right) \, dx
\]

This leads to the same type of integral with higher powers of \( \frac{1}{x^n} \). However, these terms eventually tend toward more complex expressions involving the Exponential Integral function for non-elementary antiderivatives.

### Final Solution
The solution to the integral can be written as:
\[
\int e^x \left( \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2} \right) \, dx = \text{Ei}(x) + e^x \frac{1}{x^2} + \cdots
\]
where the remaining terms follow the same pattern.
