Hi, I am using GNU grep 2.5.1, so maybe this has been fixed by now.
Bug: 'grep -e <pattern1> -e <pattern2> <file>' sometimes doesn't show all of the matches for one pattern. Example: 'grep -e blah -e stuff <file>' finds all "blah", but only some of "stuff", when <file> contains lots of "blah" and only a few "stuff" mixed in. As an alternative that works, I used 'grep -E '<pattern1>|<patter2>' <file>' Andrew Browne
