Thanks for the responses.
SunOS 5.10 - Bash - It does seem to have obsolete utils though such as a less that does not seem to know what is a real newline as opposed to a newline on the console window. It looks as though i will need to use a loop, Perderabo explanation makes sense, does seem strange though that 2>&1 would work on some systems and not others.
Didnt see the above response, as you say it must be the version of grep which incidentally does correctly recognise a newline.
