--- Comment #2 from Ross McKelvie <r...@exitzero.uk> ---
I have experienced the same issue and an additional issue with csplit on
11.0-RELEASE-p3. To replicate create a file called 'bigfile' with the
contents:
BEGINS
Section One
Text for section one.
Section Two
Text for section two.
Section Three
Text for section three.
ENDS
Run csplit:
csplit bigfile '/Section/' '{1}'
Expected result:
3 files: xx00, xx01 and xx02 each containing text for each section with a
trailing newline; for example xx00:
BEGINS
Section One
Text for section one.
ENDS
Actual result:
2 files: xx00 and xx01. xx00 is empty and xx01 contains the single line
"Section One".
Splitting by line number is also broken.
Run csplit:
csplit bigfile 4 7
Expected result:
3 files: xx00, xx01 and xx02 each containing text for each section with a
trailing newline.
Actual result:
3 files: xx00 containing the single line "Section One", xx01 containing the
single line "Text here from section one" and xx02 containing a newline
character.
A potential workaround is instead using the split utility, for example:
split -p 'Section' bigfile
However, split does not offer the complexity of csplit and is not suitable as a
direct substitute.
