[ale] Reg ex foo

[Jim Kinney]

no relation to oracle or regex. Just everyone hates oracle.

And yes. egrep is grep -E is gnu grep. In RHELland,  you do have to use
grep -E to turn on extended regex so stuff like:

grep -E "foo|bar|ba[zs]{1,3}" will work. That will find foo or bar or bas,
baz, bazz, bass, bazzz, basss

will work.

*Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
