Try using egrep or grep -E -- that turns on the extended regular
expression support. For instance, under egrep, your pattern could be
equivalently written like this:
[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}
If you still feel deprived, you could use Perl instead, whose regular
expressions have all kinds of wacky features (not that you need most of
them here):
perl -ne 'print if /\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4}/'
