"grep: The -P option is not supported" on FreeBSD

[rm1984]

Hi, the implementation of the grep command on FreeBSD 12 (grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD) doesn't support the "-P" flag, even if the following check returns true:

grep --help 2>&1 | grep "[-]-perl-regexp"

I suggest to add a check of the OS in use, and in case of FreeBSD set:

REGEX_GREP="-E"

Cheers, RM
