you need proper GNU grep and not the stupid grep that comes with Solaris
Ah yes, the joys of Solaris. That brings back memories I'd rather forget. In less than a quarter of the time you'd wasted making the system usable by installing all the GNU tools in /opt/csw or /usr/gnu and adjusted everything so they were used by default, you may as well have just installed Linux.
From what I understand the only reason people still use it these days is for ZFS. And even then you might as well just install FreeBSD.
I guess some people just like pain :) Matthew -- Matthew Newton, Ph.D. <mcn4@le.ac.uk> Systems Specialist, Infrastructure Services, I.T. Services, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, United Kingdom For IT help contact helpdesk extn. 2253, <ithelp@le.ac.uk>
