bug archives)
Hi,
I'd like to forward this bug reported to Debian some years ago.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532541
It still happens in 3.1.
Quoting the original report:
When grepping for empty lines in a text file, grep works correctly in
most cases:
~$ grep ^$ myfile.txt
~$ grep -n ^$ myfile.txt
11:
15:
19:
21:
22:
However the -o option, which is supposed to return only the matching
parts of the search, fails:
~$ grep -o ^$ myfile.txt
~$ grep -no ^$ myfile.txt
~$
Thanks,
Santiago
