grep

[Brian D. McGrew]

I'm having an issue with grep on Fedora Core 3.  Historically on SunOS,
Solaris and RedHat 7.3 we've always used grep 2.2.  However, Fedora Core
3 comes with greg 2.5.1 and it doesn't seem to work anymore and can't
figure out why.

 

The line:

 

$GREP -B1 '^[A-z][A-z0-9]*[     ]*(\(.*\))' 

 

Is what's causing us problems.  I don't know much regex but I've traced
it down to that one line.  Can someone tell me how to make this work
with grep 2.5.1?

 

Thanks,
