Hi, I noticed that sometimes -A sometimes does not result in the '--' seperator and discussed it on #bash on irc.freenode.net. There Yitzchok (yitz) explained me that '--' represents skipped lines. That immedietely made sense to me. After a bit of pondering, yitz is guessing that
"Places a line containing a group separator (--) between contiguous groups of matches." should be "Places a line containing a group separator (--) between non-contiguous groups of matches." HTH -- Laxminarayan Kamath Ammembal http://lankerisms.blogspot.com (+91) 9945036093
