Me: You need to find that, but it varies? OK, see that bit, that's always beside it and always the same. So just yank that and grep for it.

Co-worker: Huh?

Memo to self - do not use unix terms when talking to windows people. All it gets is funny looks.

I'd been using VI for over a year when I took my first Unix class. You should have seen the looks on the Windows people (i.e. everyone except me) when he started talking about yank. ;)
