simple grep issue

[bruce]

ok...

I'm losing my ever lovin' mind...

As a test.. I copied the initial file, did a substitution of dashes
"-" and spaces. Wanted to test to see if the basic grep would then
work...


To my surprise.. it didnt.. I also checked tos see if an alias of grep
was in effect.. nope..

new test file

cat   /cloud_nfs/kk2.dat
WW%WTotalWWWW%WReceivedW%WXferdWWAverageWSpeedWWWTimeWWWWTimeWWWWWTimeWWCurrent
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDloadWWUploadWWWTotalWWWSpentWWWWLeftWWSpeed

100W48118WW100W48118WWWW0WWWWW0WWW102kWWWWWW0WaabaabaaWaabaabaaWaabaabaaWW102k

grep cmd..
grep  -i 'baaWWWWW0'  /cloud_nfs/kk2.dat
100W48454WW100W48454WWWW0WWWWW0WWW1861WWWWWW0WW0:00:26WW0:00:26WaabaabaaW12177
100W51062WW100W51062WWWW0WWWWW0WWWW99kWWWWWW0WaabaabaaWaabaabaaWaabaabaaW2624k

where W -- was/is the " "
and the "--:--:--" is the "aabaabaa"

I'm sure this is something simple.. but I'm flumoxed.
