You're welcome. Just in case it does get documented, I should clarify that it's more a function of the C runtime library being used rather than somthing unique in Windows OS. It's just that Windows builders often use Microsoft's compilers and thus Microsoft's runtime C libraries. There may be other compilers for Windows whose C library for fgets() does not halt when it spots a ASCII 26 char. Also pcretest looks for #define options SUPPORT_LIBREADLINE and SUPPORT_LIBEDIT, in which case it may use readline() vs. fgets(). I have no clue whether readline() would also massage input data, perhaps it too varies among C runtime library implementations.
