Hello,
thanks for your suggestions. I'm afraid grep was designed as text-oriented tool.
I'm not sure how it will handle CR and/or LF characters when matching
pattern. IIRC grep has no multiline patterns, so it could basically
fail.
I guess it would suit 95% of my needs, I'm just trying to anticipate
potential caveats.
What about matching bytes values? Will grep accept syntax like \x55\x3a\xff\x10?

Regards,
Rob
