Nah, an empty search pattern should match any line, as defined by SU
and the man page. The only problem is if the -x option takes
precendence or not. SU does not say a word about that.
If anybody has access to a Solaris machine, I like to know what the
test does there.
cnoc[spsy]> uname -a
SunOS cnoc 5.8 Generic_117350-20 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500
cnoc[spsy]> echo "some text here" | egrep -x "" ; echo $status
egrep: illegal option -- x
usage: egrep [ -bchilnsv ] [ -e exp ] [ -f file ] [ strings ] [ file ] ...
cnoc[spsy]>
No -x option.
