Follow-up Comment #3, bug #12995 (project grep): > CONCLUSION: The bug affects not only highlighting, > but also the --only-matching option.
This seems to be fixed in CVS. At least, I cannot reproduce your results with grep from CVS, nor on Ubuntu Edgy, nor on a current Gentoo installation. Your Knoppix is somewhat old; please retry with a later version. echo "a A a A" | grep -o a echo "a A a A" | grep -io a echo "a A a A" | grep -o "[aA]" echo "a A a A" | LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" grep -io a Only with an unpatched grep-2.5.1a can I reproduce the non-matching behaviour; but then also the setting of LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" does not mask the bug. (In future: do not add to bugs that look similar, but create a new bug instead. Leave it to the maintainers to mark bugs as duplicates where necessary.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?12995> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
