grep bug?

[David Walker]

The examples for the Dos (Windows) version 2.5.1 of GNU grep show the
pattern in single quotes:

grep -l 'main' *.c

The syntax description doesn't mention quotes.

For me, grep works perfectly if I leave the single quotes out.  Presumably
if I had quotes in the file, such as quote-something-quote, it would find
it.

I have a file named test.txt that looks like:

111Line1
222Line2
222Line2
333Line3
222Line2
999Line9

Using this:

grep -e 222 test.txt

gives me what I expect:

222Line2
222Line2
222Line2

grep -e '222' test.txt gives me nothing.  Is the help wrong, or is it
something I'm doing?  I'm using Windows 2000 SP3.

Thanks.
