* Nah, tried it, all 3 have same output:

    * [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :"]]
    * [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf ::"]]
    * [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :: "]]

=>

Executing cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :"
asdf :: asdf
asdf :: qwer
Executing cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf ::"
asdf :: asdf
asdf :: qwer
Executing cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :: "
asdf :: asdf
asdf :: qwer
