Again same issue.. --colour is not recognized keyword in grep [freebsd,solaris]

<div>
This is my grep version:<br />
<br />
grep --version<br />
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD<br />
<br />
This is the output when I use --colour:<br />
<br />
grep --colour=auto file *<br />
d:upload_max_filesize =&gt; 2M =&gt; 2M<br />
d:Supported handlers =&gt; cdb cdb_make inifile flatfile<br />
d:Supported filetypes =&gt; JPEG,TIFF<br />
d:fileinfo<br />
d:fileinfo support =&gt; enabled<br />
etc...<br />
<br />
And file is highlighted nicely.<br />
<br />
What version do you use? Did you do a:<br />
man grep<br />
<br />
To check if your version does/ does not support the --colour option?<br />
<br />
If not, maybe it's time to update your version...

This is my grep version:

grep --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD

This is the output when I use --colour:

grep --colour=auto file *
d:upload_max_filesize => 2M => 2M
d:Supported handlers => cdb cdb_make inifile flatfile
d:Supported filetypes => JPEG,TIFF
d:fileinfo
d:fileinfo support => enabled
etc...

And file is highlighted nicely.

What version do you use? Did you do a:
man grep

To check if your version does/ does not support the --colour option?

If not, maybe it's time to update your version...

$grep --color=auto<br />
grep: unrecognized option `--color=auto'<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
