Hello,

According to the grep manual page I can use the -P option to use Perl
regular expressions as follows:

grep -P PERL_REGEX  INPUT_FILE

however, I cannot get the following pattern to match a literal dollar sign:

grep -P makan\$  file.txt

when I know this pattern is in the file.  It matches the shorter string
without the dollar sign if I leave \$ out.

Thanks,

Jon
