Hi,

I tried to filter 3 repeating lines out of XML file. The first line contains “stylesheet”.

The command I used is: grep –v –A 2 stylesheet FILENAME

The search without the –v works filtering out the 3 expected lines but the above command line does not work.

I would call that a bug – you too?

Looked into you reported bug, nothing there so I suspect 2.16. still hasn’t changed here and I save my time triying.

Regards

Volker
