This is a pretty drastic difference. I don't think I missed anything, though. $ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 $ s_pair=$(printf '\360\220\220\205') $ printf '%s\n' "$s_pair" > in $ src/grep --file=in in >out $ echo $? 1 $ od -t o1 in 0000000 360 220 220 205 012 0000005 $ cmp in out cmp: EOF on out which is empty $ echo $? 1 Regards, Gary
