Thanks to all sun-managers who responded. My original question was:

> I would like to have another "grep" command which can handle files
> with lines of more than 1024 characters...

The 3 more popuplar suggestions are:

1) Try the gnu grep command
2) Try with Perl
3) Try agrep command (also public domain command)

I tested the first one (GNU) and it's OK., there's no limitation

        Thanks again to all who responded (Sorry if I forgot someone...)
