Ok, cool. You gave me some insight. For reference, the below line returns lines with exactly 3 matches if 'x' in the entire line.
3 can be replaced with any positive integer.
'x' can be replaced by any string.
Addinging the option -E allowed to removed the "\" for the special characters and the code worked as expected.
There is also -P option for Perl extensions.
-E returned nothing when I added the ?: to ()
-P returned everything
I'm getting closer, I'll just need sometime to fool around with it. Thanks for the help.

Many files begin with yong_ho_free_2005...
Many files begin with yong_ho_2005...
I can't just use "grep yong_ho" otherwise It'll display both files.
So I'm trying to use a regex but my syntax is wrong.
