[plug] grep and regular expressions...

[David Buddrige]

Hi all, 

I have a series of html text files that have the characters \f at the end of 
some of the lines. 

I am wanting to run a grep command that will pick up any line in the file 
that ends with the literal characters " \f"  (that is to say space, slash f) 

I have tried the following grep commands to pull out these lines: 


grep "\\f$" *.htm 

and 

grep "\ \\f$" *.htm 

and 

grep " \f$" *.htm 

grep "f$" *.htm 

however none of these match the lines I am after.  Can anyone see what's 
wrong with my regular expressions? 

thanks 

David Buddrige.
