grep with regular expression

Hi, guys. I have one question, hope somebody can give me a hand

I have a file called passwd, the contents of it arebelow:

***********************
...
goldsimj:x:5008:200:
goldsij2:x:5009:200:
whitej:x:5010:201:
brownj:x:5011:202:
goldsij3:x:5012:204:
greyp:x:5013:203:
...
**********************

I want to grep all the lines which has "goldsi" at the beginning, a "j" at position 7 or 8 in the first column and 200 in column 4.

I used the following code:

grep -G "^goldsi?j?:x:[0-9]{4,}:200"

However, it doesn't work. Does anybody know what is wrong with my code OR provide better solution?

Thank you very much for your time in advance

CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options					 CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES - specify alternative matches for HTTP 200 OK SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES, struct curl_slist *aliases); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a linked list of aliases to be treated as valid HTTP 200 responses. Some servers respond with a custom header response line. For example, SHOUTcast servers respond with "ICY 200 OK". Also some very old Icecast 1.3.x servers will respond like that for cer- tain user agent headers or in absence of such. By including this string in your list of aliases, the response will be treated as a valid HTTP header line such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK". The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs, and be properly filled in. Use curl_slist_append(3) to create the list and curl_slist_free_all(3) to clean up an entire list. The alias itself is not parsed for any version strings. The protocol is assumed to match HTTP 1.0 when an alias match. DEFAULT
NULL PROTOCOLS
HTTP EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.10.3 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3), libcurl 7.54.0 February 03, 2016 CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES(3)
