Remember that within [...], backslash is not special but - is. So in [^a-z\-\.] The class specifies (1) the range from a to z, (2) the range from / to /, (3) the character .. Actually, it specifies the *complement* of that set, so grep will give you any lines that contain a character that is not in that set. What is it you are trying to accomplish? Dale
