That worked almost perfectly. The only problem with this one is that the files that are in the working directory aren't proceeded by a slash. I gather that the pattern you gave is for ^ followed by any number of non / characters. I guess I got confused and thought that * was itself a wild card.
Thank you very much Christian. I've figured out what I needed and more. With your start and a bit of googling the right answer ended up being :%s/^\S*\s//. Another source of confusion had been that I didn't realize >> was append so I was sometimes opening files and not realizing I was seeing outputs from different versions of my command. The proper output from just the grep with no modification was just [01;31m [Kpreprocessing [m [K /home/john/local/tinyos-2.x/tos/chips/msp430/McuSleepC.nc [01;31m [Kpreprocessing [m [K /home/john/local/tinyos-2.x/tos/interfaces/McuPowerState.nc [01;31m [Kpreprocessing [m [K /home/john/local/tinyos-2.x/tos/interfaces/McuPowerOverride.nc [01;31m [Kpreprocessing [m [K gridEyeAppC.nc [01;31m [Kpreprocessing [m [K /home/john/local/tinyos-2.x/tos/system/MainC.nc [01;31m [Kpreprocessing [m [K /home/john/local/tinyos-2.x/tos/interfaces/Boot.nc [01;31m [Kpreprocessing [m [K /home/john/local/tinyos-2.x/tos/interfaces/Init.nc The pattern you gave me worked great for every pattern except the ones in the current directory because they didnt have a /, but thats my fault because I linked a portion of the list that didn't include that.
