Details:
Maybe this is more of a feature request, but as I understand the option,
--only-matching should print all matches to the pattern in each line.
for example:
$ echo 'abcd00efghi' | grep -o ..0..
cd00e
# what I expect:
# $ echo 'abcd00efghi' | grep -o ..0..
# cd00e
# d00ef
note that more than one match in a line will be printed, if they do not
overlap:
$ echo 'ab0cdefg0hi' | grep -o ..0..
ab0cd
fg0hi
Was the option meant to work this way?
