Follow-up Comment #1, bug #33159 (project grep): I am happy to report that I have a found a version of grep which DOES recognise tabs!!!
UnxUtils (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/) have version 2.5.1 which employs a commandline switch "-P" to honour perl-style regexps. So *ALL* the examples I posted earlier will work with UnxUtils' updated grep as follows: grep -Pine "tbcp" sqlscripts.sql grep -Pine "[t]bcp" sqlscripts.sql grep -Pine "x09bcp" sqlscripts.sql .. which makes the world a better place ;o) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33159> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
