Summary: -m option doesn't work in win32 version of grep Project: grep Submitted by: None Submitted on: Mon 05/30/2005 at 06:55 Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open _______________________________________________________ Details: Developers, I'm not sure if you support grep in a win32 environment, but I'm using grep using the -m option. It's parsing output and should stop after one instance is found (-m 1). In a linux environment, it works properly, but in windows it does not. I've used the cygwin grep.exe as well as the win32 compile found at: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/. The grep version on both systems is 2.5.1. The problem is, the data takes a while to output, but every instance is the same, so if I get one hit, it can stop. In windows, it doesn't stop until the output has stopped. Please let me know what other details I can provide to help. Thanks!!! _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13225> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
