#R:floyd:-130400:ucbcad:18600004:000:292 ucbcad!kalash Mar 15 21:40:00 1983 I recall seeing timing stats once that showed egrep is almost always faster than either grep or fgrep. About the only thing I use fgrep for is the -x option, and when I am searching for *'s. Grep has the -w feature which is often nice, but in every day use egrep wins for me. Joe Kalash
