If you truly want an exact match, you need to escape the "." wildcard in the regular expression. Or, you could use fixed string matching against an entire line:
Code:
grep -Fx Jack.is.going.home file

Perhaps that's a bit pedantic, but I think it's worth mentioning. In some cases it could actually be important (though judging from this sample data, probably not in this one).

Regards,
Alister
