Hello! grep is behaving differently when outputting with --color=auto when lines are ending with CRLF (like Windows text files).
The issue is that if I have a file with CRLF line terminator, for example, a file named test.txt, containing: Line 1<CR><LF> Line 2<CR><LF> Line 3<CR><LF> Or: $od -c test.txt 0000000 L i n e 1 \r \n L i n e 2 \r \n 0000020 L i n e 3 \r \n 0000030 Then, If I type: $ grep --color=auto "." test.txt That is, I tell grep to display every lines containing at least one character (that is, every lines), I get on terminal output just 3 empty lines. However, if I type: $ grep "." test.txt Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Then I do have every lines on the output. I tried on both SSH and direct console with same result. On my SSH terminal, I captured output, and what I see is <CR><LF> <CR><LF> <CR><LF> Here are a few variations: - I tried with a longer file, like 100 lines, and I do get some of the lines printed, but truncated to the terminal screen width. - The issue here was with printing every lines, but I do get the same result as long as I match any end of lines, like grep "2.*" test.txt, or even "grep 2[[:cntrl:]]$" test.txt - The problem is there only when This was with grep 2.27 (also tried 2.16, which I had before upgrading to 2.27).
