Yes it does. What platform and version of grep are you using? My 
suggestion works fine on a newish Linux box (GNU grep), on a Solaris 8 
Sparc box (horrid Sun grep), a Cobalt RaQ running Linux 2.0, etc. It 
basically works everywhere, even without the -E 'extended' flag that I 
think is a GNU feature ;-)
