[gnu.utils.bug] 3 grep problems

tchrist@convexe.uucp (Tom Christiansen) (12/02/89)

I'm running GNU grep version 1.3, not 1.4 (our Internet link is
being flaky right now or I'd FTP it.)  I don't know whether
these problems are fixed in 1.4 or not.


1.  The -y alias for -i is not recognized.

2.  "grep -v -c foo < /dev/null" claims that it found one not-match.
    standard greps report 0.

3.  Underbar is considered a word delimiter in gnu grep, but
    not in standard grep.  That means that this:

    grep -c foo  << EOF
    this is foo
    foo_bar
    but is foobar the same?
    EOF

    finds 2 matches with gnu grep and 1 with standard greps.
