OK. That was poorly worded. Lemmie try again.
The fgrep I am using does not have a -w switch. What does it do?
Okay. (Please don't top-post.)
You will almost certainly find it explained in the man page for regular
grep, then, as it's entirely usual to find there.
8:23pm [~/Mail] 375[0]> man grep | grep -A6 -w 'w,'
man: Formatting manual page...
-w, --word-regexp
Select only those lines containing matches that form whole
words. The test is that the matching substring must either be
at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word con-
stituent character. Similarly, it must be either at the end of
the line or followed by a non-word constituent character. Word-
constituent characters are letters, digits, and the underscore.
