Yup. I was introduced to Grep in my college Unix class - to which I said, "WTF is this syntax, I'm never going to need this!!"

Then, along came the magical world of Regular Expressions at work. Fuck.

ROFL! I've had to become acquainted with it at work too!

Once you learn it, it's a powerful tool.
