So, my modified script and Don's output the expected/desired result. Why is that my first script and Aia's do not produce the same result?
Expanding a little on what I said in post #7, grep 0.1 and grep -E 0.1 use basic regular expression and extended regular expression matching, respectively, and in both cases the <period> in 0.1 matches any character. So, the RE 0.1 matches the text in red in the output:
nor why id didn't report many of the files found by Aia's perl script.
My suggestion worked because grep -F 0.1 performs a fixed string search; not a regular expression search, and in a fixed string search the <period> in 0.1 only matches a <period>.
And, using grep -l just prints the name of a file that contains a match (without displaying the matching text) and moves on to the next file instead of looking for all possible matches in a single file.
