Hello,

I have an ASCII file with duplicate entries throughout the file (such as
the string 'cjim' or 'buffalo') that I am parsing via grep.  I wish to 
retrieve only one match however using the parameters 

$ grep -E -e "/cjim/{1}" 

produces no results.  I've never used the {+,?,*,{n,m}} quantifiers before;
how should I be tying them into a regexp?


And comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
