grep怎样匹配tab键

    今天给maildroprc做脚本，发现不知道怎么用grep来匹配tab键，--虽然‘/t’是正则表达式的常见写法。

 

    google了一下关键字“grep匹配tab”，有两篇帖子问这个问题的，底下的回答都是设法绕开这个问题，比如用“.*”来匹配tab键，不着调，很不爽。

 

    再google一下外文吧，关键字“grep tab”，搜到一篇帖子:

Try "grep -P '/t'" to use perl-compatible regexps.  Note that this is a
specific capability of GNU grep, so it will not be portable to systems
that use a different grep.  It might be more portable to use "awk
'//t/'".

Or 
 
 
  
  
   
    to insert a literal tab as others said.

回答得太好了：讲了三种方法： 
1 grep -P '/t'; 
2 awk '//t/' 
3 ctl+v,tab; 
每种都可以
  
  
 
 

借此机会反思一下中国软件从业人员和国外的差距
记得之前我搜postfix的系统结构图，搜到的画得详尽透彻的图都是来自日本网站的。。。差距。。。，
还经常看到国外的一些甚至是中学教师的个人网站上精美的代码，我觉得中国大学教授有那水平的也不多。。。
怎么中国就这么少人踏实下来呢，地震后祈福祷告，奥运前热血沸腾的人倒很多，有屁用～。
