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
# You have to get the backslash past the shell
grep -P 'makan\$' file.txt
# or
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
