The diff file also contains a third line with just a single dot. If I feed this to patch from stdin, everything's fine: $ patch < ab.diff can't find file to patch at input line 1 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? File to patch: a.txt $ cat a.txt a new line $ Where's the problem exactly?
