I meant matching lines which start with a number and a colon in source files, not in grep.txt. In grep.txt an example of such case is: grep -nH -e "Universal Time" ../lispref/* ../lispref/os.texi:1010:0:00 January 1, 1970 UTC (Coordinated ^[[01;31mUniversal Time^[[00m) ================== ==== ==================================================================== file name line# matching line where the file `../lispref/os.texi' contains the line: 0:00 January 1, 1970 UTC (Coordinated ^[[01;31mUniversal Time^[[00m) -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
