 WV> Hi Daniel,

 RS>>> cat /fido/etc/areas_fidonet | grep EchoArea | grep 1:105/81

 RS>>> $line|awk {'print $2'}`        TAGSHORT=`echo $line|awk {'print
 RS>>> $2'}|sed s/FIDO_//`        FILE=`echo $line|awk {'print $3'}`
 RS>>> DESC=`cat backbone.na | grep $TAGLONG | awk '{$1="";
 RS>>> print $0}'|sed 's/\r$//'`

 DP>> try: grep "1:105/81" or set it as a variable as in the original
 DP>> script

 WV> Strange... On my linux in bash these give the same result:

 WV> # echo 1:1/1 | grep 1:1/1
 WV> 1:1/1

 WV> # echo 1:1/1 | grep "1:1/1"
 WV> 1:1/1

yes, macos confirmed.

 WV> There is an alias for grep:
 WV> alias grep='grep --color=auto'

 WV> But that shouldn't make a difference. Maybe on ubuntu it's different?

dunno, i don't have ubuntu here (because of these simple shitty things )
:)
