| help | unix | grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1 | advanced regex syntax
Hello,

I'm working on unix with grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1. I'm going through some of the newer regex syntax using Regular Expression Reference - Advanced Syntax a guide.

Code:
ls -aLl /bin | grep "\(x\)"

Which works, just highlights 'x' where ever, when ever.

I'm trying to to get (?:) to work but I just get no return.

Code:
 ls -aLl /bin | grep "\(\?\:x\)"

Code:
 ls -aLl /bin | grep "\(\?:x\)"

Code:
 ls -aLl /bin | grep "\(?\:x\)"

All of these return nothing. I'm not sure what I need to do to implement this. Like GNU grep supports the advance features like look ahead/behind, conditionals, backreference, etc?

The below code works which using grouping:
Code:
ls -aLl /bin | grep "^\([^x]*x\)\{1\}[^x]*$"
