Hello Seth, thanks for the quick and detailed response. The attachment is deleted. Please feel free to make the discussion public.
Apparently the issue is not the umlauts (at least on my machine), but ligatures, &c. I've a script to rename files, but some always slip. Especially the incapability of the system to properly handle Russian file names and contents, due to different encodings, is a nuisance. And when processing strings in perl-scripts, it is a nightmare. I was not aware of that grep switches from text to binary mode while parsing, and that it only does so if a grepped line contains a binary character. It would be good if the warning was send to stderr, so that it does not get lost in pipes. Anyway, I already added the alias grep --text to my ~/.bashrc. Just to continue the discussion, is there a similar switch for locate? locate comparison-of-turbulence-models Binary file (standard input) matches Thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1587101 Title: Grep silently discards tails of long text streams To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grep/+bug/1587101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
