I was given the solution - escape the + with a \ character.

But here is what you asked for:
grep (GNU grep) 2.9


LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


func1(){
   blah blah
}
func2(){
   blah blah
}
func3(){
   blah blah
}
func4(){
   blah blah
}

Any bash script file will do, that has function names starting in column 1.
I have a large file full of functions and wanted to get a listing of the
function names.

The actual grep (that now works) is :
      grep --color '^[[:alpha:]]\+()' yccfunctions

Thank You
