[bug #33159] Grep doesn't support \t as a tab character

[trids]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #33159 (project grep):

I am happy to report that I have a found a version of grep which DOES
recognise tabs!!!

UnxUtils (http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/) have version 2.5.1 which employs a
commandline switch "-P" to honour perl-style regexps.

So *ALL* the examples I posted earlier will work with UnxUtils' updated grep
as follows:

grep -Pine "tbcp" sqlscripts.sql
grep -Pine "[t]bcp" sqlscripts.sql 
grep -Pine "x09bcp" sqlscripts.sql 

.. which makes the world a better place ;o)
