Thanks Mark, but it didn't seem to work. grep "\xEF" seems to match a
literal \xEF string, not a byte with that value. I also tried octal

success, and single quotes instead double. Any other ideas?
If it's a character you can type in, like control-A, you can precede
it with a control-V to indicate the next character should be taken
literally. Single or double quotes are optional.
Would 'sed' be a possibility? Doesn't that understand regexps?
BTW, thanks for your reply earlier today. Oh well.

You need a $ sign, as in
grep $'\x61' myfiles
