Is there a kind soul to verify > that this is really a problem by running the scrip on a true unix? I can do better: I can verify it's Not A Bug by running the script on cygwin and seeing that it works fine. On the other hand, if I get the script to run "unix2dos" on 'expressions.txt' and 'text.txt' before grepping them, I get the result you were expecting. Are you on a textmode mount or something? Or do you perhaps have some dos line-endings in the grepbug script file itself? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
