running the command grep -v -F -f pattern-file search-file
with a large pattern-file (in my case 1234 patterns) fails to yield the complement of the same command less the -v option. The result is the same without the -F option, though _much_ slower. The patterns I'm using are of the form: [email protected] My search-file has about 4900 lines of the form: 01011: [email protected] 20090704T062201 20071105T170000 20071105T173000 norecur 0 Wrap up after brainstorming Friday A workaround would be appreciated, since I was really counting on grep -v working properly for what I'm trying to do.
