Great, thanks.

The output with grep-2.5.3 is 3:4, which means that the string "4" was found at offset 3 (0-based). With grep-2.5.1, you get 0:4, which means that the line containing the string "4" has offset 0. The "tr" commands in the script ensure that the patterns we are looking for are always at the start of a line, so that it doesn't matter which version of grep is installed.
