I'm only noticing this topic now, so, sorry for the intrusion but I'm
VERY interested in using GREP in AS natively.
Chris, did I read you right? I can use call up Perl in AS? Does it come
with the Developer kit or standard in OS 10.3 install? How do you call
another scripting language in AS? I'm pretty new at all this, so if you
have any links or info I can read on this, that'd be great.
TIA

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}/'
