No egrep which I'm familiar with supports Perl regexps! The \b, \s, and
\S are Perl-isms.
You should replace "egrep" with a Perl script equivalent if you wish to
use Perl regexps. Otherwise, use egrep regexps.
Thanks. Nobody mentioned this the first time around when I posted the list

I went ahead and learned some egrep regexps and got it to work.
Thanks again!
