I have a file (example.txt) that contains the following six lines:
something else
/Type /Pages
/Type /Page
/Type /Page >>
/Type /Page/Foo
something else
When I run the following in a cmd shell on XP using GnuWin's port of grep
2.51, I expect the result 3 but instead get 0:
grep --count "/Type /Page[^s]" example.txt
0
When I run the same command in cygwin with cygwin's port of grep 2.51, I do
get the expected result. Unfortunately, I need to make this work in a
Windows BAT script, so cygwin is not an option.
DOS uses the ^ as a line-continuation character in BAT files. Perhaps it's
interfering? I've looked around but haven't found a way to make the caret
work.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Art Peel
