[plug] Re: grep and regular expressions...

[David Buddrige]

I have tried grep "\\\f$" mytextfile.txt (see attached file), and that 
seemed to work ok both with the program, and also with the grep command 
above. 

I am thinking that maybe there are some hidden characters in there that I'm 
not seeing...... goes away and tries grep "\\\f".... 

Actually I've just worked it out; it's an ms-dos format text file, and hence
it's barfing over the line-feed (or carriage return - I can't remember which 
it is that unix doesn't use) 

thanks heaps all for assistance 

David.
