I know that one should be cautious about overusing (and ascribing godlike omniscience to) the Internet, but can't ANYBODY do basic research around here?
--- Quote ---What do grep, -E, and -F stand for?
The name grep comes from the way line editing was done on Unix. For example, ed uses the following syntax to print a list of matching lines on the screen:
global/regular expression/print
g/re/p

...and /that's/ from https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html, i.e. not even GNU calls it GNU,
There's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep, plus man, /many/ more.

Hi Mark
I didn't search, it was just the correlation with 'grep' in my head i.e.: simple deduction.
I wasn't far off though ;)
