With `-b' option GNU grep can output the byte offset of the beginning of the matching line counting from the beginning of the file, e.g.: emacs-2:1205:50533:inserts `xyzxyzxyzxyz' in the current buffer. This format resembles the output of column numbers, but it is not. It misleads grep.el into interpreting it as a column number. AFAIK, currently GNU grep doesn't support column number output. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
