1. Have you tried this only with "| less -r" by any chance? Maybe since grep's output goes to a pipe and not to the terminal it decides to ignore --color. That's the behavior I see on my Ubunutu. Try "--color=always" when you pipe egrep's output, it helped in on my desktop. 2. Could it be that something is masking your GREP_COLORS envariable (see the --color section in your egrep's manual) --Amos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
