returns nothing

grep -n A000432 MyMoney.kmy  | grep SPLIT

returns 9 lines.

Each of the 9 lines has 1,500 plus characters. The length is pretty 
unique in my KMM file although I have found a few that are not part of 
the lines with A000432. My guess is A000432 is not the only problem.

grep -n '.\{1500\}' MyMoney.kmy  | wc

returns 77 lines that are over 1500 characters long so hopefully they 
all don't need to be fixed.
