Hi,
I just tried grep 2.5 and noticed problems
with the new -o and --color options.
They work fine except when there is a * in the regular expression.
This seems to cause an infinite loop:
echo "1 one" | ./grep -E "[0-9]*" -o
and this:
echo "1 one" | ./grep -E "[0-9]*" --color
however this is OK: |
V
echo "1 one" | ./grep -E "[0-9]+" --color
thanks,
Padraig.
p.s. I couldn't connect to mail.gnu.org
to see was this already reported.
