I am indeed wanting the searches to take case into account.
Now, try adding more not-letters-and-digits to the search string. It won't be long before things stop working again.
$ echo 'j^k' >z
$ grep '^k' z
[zilch]
grep can't find '^k' in a file that clearly contains it.
Now, you have to go back to all your scripts and also include the -F option, for this.
$ grep -F '^k' z
j^k
sigh.
Should I replace the 'e' option with the 'F' option,
or do I need both options?
By the way, grep's behavior suggests that the order of the options matters. I did not expect that. Does the order of the options really matter?
