I had hoped to find a help list because this may be my problem, but here goes:
grep --color '^[[:alpha:]]*' xxx Lists every line including blank lines, highlighting leading alpha strings. grep --color '^[[:alpha:]][[:alpha:]]*' xxx Lists every line starting with an alpha and highlights all leading alphas. This is what I wanted, so I tried rewriting the spec as: grep --color '^[[:alpha:]]+' xxx lists nothing. Is it me or is this a bug? -- Bill Gradwohl
