The documentation says this: "By default, as soon as one pattern matches a line, no further patterns are considered. However, if --colour (or --color) is used to colour the matching substrings, or if --only-matching, --file-offsets, or --line- offsets is used to output only the part of the line that matched (either shown literally, or as an offset), scanning resumes immediately following the match, so that further matches on the same line can be found." If you had tried it on a line that did not contain "ab" it would still match. The further complication is that pcregrep does use PCRE_NOTEMPTY, but only after it has found one match in a line. So any further matches in a line are not empty strings. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
