Hi all, I've probably found a bug in "grep". Here's a way how to reproduce it:
s53mgt:/test2 # cat testfile A Ä s53mgt:/test2 # grep -F -eÄ -eA testfile A Ä s53mgt:/test2 # grep -i -eÄ -eA testfile A Ä s53mgt:/test2 # grep -iF -eÄ -eA testfile A As you can see the last one does not give A and Ä but only A. When I do the same with another testfile without an "Ä" (A-Umlaut) in it, it works like expected: s53mgt:/test2 # cat testfile2 A B s53mgt:/test2 # grep -F -eB -eA testfile2 A B s53mgt:/test2 # grep -i -eB -eA testfile2 A B s53mgt:/test2 # grep -iF -eB -eA testfile2 A B s53mgt:/test2 # file testfile testfile2 testfile: UTF-8 Unicode text testfile2: ASCII text Here's some information on my version of "grep". s53mgt:/test2 # rpm -qif /bin/grep Name : grep Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.5.1a Vendor: SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany Release : 20.17 Build Date: Tue Apr 22 03:47:13 2008 Install Date: Mon Jul 6 16:21:37 2009 Build Host: blacher.suse.de Group : Productivity/Text/Utilities Source RPM: grep-2.5.1a-20.17.src.rpm Size : 461697 License: GPL v2 or later Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue Apr 22 03:49:23 2008, Key ID a84edae89c800aca Packager : http://bugs.opensuse.org URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/ Summary : Print lines matching a pattern Description : GNU grep, the "fastest grep in the west" (hopefully). `grep' searches for lines matching a pattern.
