Also "*" doesn't work with egrep, it must be ".*" When using regexp, "e*" means "zero or more 'e'"
Thank-you. I was hoping it would be a wildcard for any characters thereafter.
Not if the command uses the "regexp" syntax (or regular expresions). It can be confusing. "egrep" uses it, "grep" does not. Notice in the "grep" manual the entries for "-e" and "-E". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
