The regular expression (RE) you need depends on what tool you're using and what you want the RE to do.

If you were using awk and wanted an ERE to select lines from your file that just have one headword, you might try:
Code:
awk '/^[^ =]*=/' file

As always, if you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
