If so, you can use "grep -F '9.4.5'" to grep for a "fixed string"; i.e. not a regular expression. Option 2 - escape the dots - grep -i '9\.4\.5' Option 3 - put the dots in square brackets - grep '9[.]4[.]5'. Alternatively, if you want to grep for *any* run of digits and dots - grep '[0-9.][0-9.]*' (there may be a more elegant way to do this with extended regular expressions) -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
