Reporting a bug in grep

[Naresh Ranvah]

Hi

I was using grep to find a expression 
^=
in a file that contained it. It does not list it.

So, I use grep to look for the expression
^
and it lists the whole file, definitely a lot of lines that did not have it. I 
seemed to be finding it in every line even where it wasn't there. Please have a 
look at it.

May be I am making mistake, I am naive user or Linux.

Also please inform me what happened to my report.

Regards
Naresh
