Grep and matching end of line (anchoring)

[Dalton, Barnaby]

I'm having trouble gettting grep to match end of line when used with
files/utlilities that use DOS linefeeds. For example:

cat files.txt | grep '\.h$'

produces no output. However, if I stick a filter in the middle to change the
line endings:

cat files.txt | perl -pe 's/\r\n/\n/' | grep '\.h$'
I get:

file1.h
file2.h

as expected.

Should grep's $ match \r\n or should I expect to have to convert line
endings?

Thanks
Barney
