How to salvage OS X when fonts go awry
Authored by: boredzo on Mar 29, '06 08:37:22AM

I'd suggest using fgrep (or grep -F — same thing) instead. It's faster when searching for a fixed string (as opposed to a regular expression), because it's not looking for (or unwittingly processing, as can happen easily with '.') the meta-characters that a regular expression would contain.
