Aha, sorry about that Licheng (re: Tim's post). I guess "broken" depends on if you are expecting perl-compatible behavior or otherwise. I have my own scripts I use to do (f)grep and sed-like operations, so I almost never use those programs and forgot about the different pattern semantics (part of the reason I made my own scripts).
