Re: using grep

This is "regular expression" magic:
        ^       Beginning of line
        [^@ ]   Anything not an @-sign nor a space
        +       At least one of the preceding regular expression
                (in this case, at least one character, which can be
                neither an @-sign nor a space)
        $       End of line
