I meant matching lines which start with a number and a colon in source
files, not in grep.txt.  In grep.txt an example of such case is:

grep -nH -e "Universal Time" ../lispref/*
../lispref/os.texi:1010:0:00 January 1, 1970 UTC (Coordinated 
^[[01;31mUniversal Time^[[00m)

================== ==== 
====================================================================
file name         line# matching line

where the file `../lispref/os.texi' contains the line:

0:00 January 1, 1970 UTC (Coordinated ^[[01;31mUniversal Time^[[00m)
