Hi, I'd like to forward this bug reported to Debian some years ago. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532541 It still happens in 3.1. Quoting the original report: When grepping for empty lines in a text file, grep works correctly in most cases: ~$ grep ^$ myfile.txt ~$ grep -n ^$ myfile.txt 11: 15: 19: 21: 22: However the -o option, which is supposed to return only the matching parts of the search, fails: ~$ grep -o ^$ myfile.txt ~$ grep -no ^$ myfile.txt ~$ Thanks, Santiago
