Typically patterns should be quoted when grep is used f ( -file) option, search for all patterns given. If this option is used multiple times or is combined with the Patterns separate each pattern from the next. Use patterns as one or more patterns newlines within If you install gnu grep with homebrew, it helpfully installs it as ggrep, so that if there is some incompatibility between say script behaviors using the Mac's grep and ggrep, you can resolve it by changing symbolic links from one executable to the other.Next: General Output Control, Previous: Generic Program Information, Up: Command-line Options 2.1.2 Matching Control ¶ -e patterns -regexp= patterns The documentation for gnu grep (which is available on the Mac through homebrew or other package managers) says its default behavior is -F (assumes basic regular expression), but like john1024 says, my experience is that it supports the advanced expressions without using -E or the egrep variant. So as John1024 points out, on a Mac, $echo 'i100s'| grep -Eo ']+' You'll run into the same problem on Vim when doing a search, unless you preface it with a \v (the vim equivalent of -E). Clearly the range operator is also in the same category. Prior to that, you had to express + as a single instance followed by the same instance with a *. The + operator was an innovation after the very oldest version of grep.
