aha, that works, and
man ls | grep -e -L
also works the same way. So, I needed to know the '-e' option,.
Contrary to what I seemed to understand from 'man grep',
this would be the same as ( but deprecated) egrep. When I try
this it doesn't work.
I'm learning, keep the info coming.
Thank you all,
Nino
