texte = Hello all, I am trying to use grep for the first time and running into a problem with the characters '<' and '>'. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to specify that I want to find them along with a 'p'. I looked up regular expressions and none of the online resources list these two characters as metacharacters. I did find a resource that said that \< and \> are start of word and end of word respectively in GNU grep and GNU emacs. I did verify that they have this functionality in WebDNA's version of grep. I wish to match things like '

' and replace with '

' but when I try to match even just '. To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
