Hi Michael, ah, there was a similar change for sed, that’s why I missed it when searching for the change.
I believe this is slightly different case, as the pipes were only included in the example I sent. The grep fails to match CRLF to $ even if physical files are involved and `-a` option is enforced: # Create file with CRLF $ echo -ne 'foo\r\n' > crlf.txt # Use 2.27-2 version -> works OK $ ./grep-2.27-2.exe 'foo$' crlf.txt foo # Use --binary —> doesn’t find anything OK $ ./grep-2.27-2.exe -U 'foo$’ crlf.txt # Use —text —> finds the text OK $ ./grep-2.27-2.exe -a 'foo$' crlf.txt foo # No amount of options makes the grep find the text in the file $ ./grep-3.0-2.exe 'foo$’ crlf.txt $ ./grep-3.0-2.exe -U 'foo$' crlf.txt $ ./grep-3.0-2.exe -a 'foo$’ crlf.txt So. I would be perfectly fine, if I had to slap `-a` to every grep command reading text output, because the default has changed. Sed doesn’t have --text option, so sure, there’s no other option available.
