I get a message, "grep: 0652-226 Maximum line length of 2048 exceeded."
If the line has more than 2048 characters, then I should have got the error in the first case also. Can somebody please explain why the error is only with the -n option? I am running on AIX 5.1.0.0
Thanks.

That's where you do not have control...over the tools you use.
If you have Python in your AIX already:
for linenum, lines in enumerate(open("file.txt")):
if "expr" in lines:
print "Line number: " , linenum
Code:
for linenum, lines in enumerate(open("file.txt")):
if "expr" in lines:
print "Line number: " , linenum
-->
Code:
for linenum, lines in enumerate(open("file.txt")):
if "expr" in lines:
print "Line number: " , linenum
