Dear Person,

I have found a bug in the below environment and using grep along with REGEX.

*My aim*: To search a names having "Mr.*" and "Mrs.*" in f1.dat file

$ cat /etc/*-release
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Carthage)
Oracle Linux Server release 5.8
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

*$ cat f1.dat*
*Output:*
MRavi
Mr.Kumar
Mrs.Linda
Mrs.Lily
Mr.Gul
Mr.Tent
Mrs.Forrest
Mr.Hammer

*$ grep -r "Mr.*" f1.dat*
*Output:*
Mr.Kumar
Mrs.Linda
Mrs.Lily
Mr.Gul
Mr.Tent
Mrs.Forrest
Mr.Hammer

*$ grep -r "Mrs.*" f1.dat*
*Output:*
Mrs.Linda
Mrs.Lily
Mrs.Forrest

I see the command (*$ grep -r "Mr.*" f1.dat*) is getting retrieved all
names having both

*Mr. and Mrs.*
please do let me know is this defect ? Hoping to get an revert mail on this.

* Thanks & Regards,KK Senthil Kumar*
