Perhaps what is needed to start with is to ask people to send output examples of different kinds of grep. We could put these example in a new file etc/grep.txt similarly to etc/compilation.txt.
That is a good idea. Please start that file. I've collected a few examples in the file attached below. The section `grep ???' contains examples deduced from regexps in `grep-regexp-alist'. Could someone recognize what grep produces them? The first three seem to follow the GNU spec for column numbers and ranges. I don't know whether GNU grep can output these, but in principle it could do so. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
