--- Begin Message ---Package: pcregrep Version: 7.8-3 Severity: normal I'm a Perl grep novice. This might be a program bug, a manual bug, or merely user confusion: # as hoped for seq 10 | pcregrep -M '2\n3' 2 3 # why does '1' match? seq 10 | pcregrep -M '(*CR)2.3' 1 2 3 # why don't these match anything? seq 10 | pcregrep -M '(*ANY)2.3' ; echo error=$? error=1 seq 10 | pcregrep -M '(*ANYCRLF)2.3' ; echo error=$? error=1 The patterns '(*CR)2.3', '(*ANY)2.3' and '(*ANYCRLF)2.3' were inspired by: man pcrepattern | grep -n -A 8 'a newline convention' 43: It is also possible to specify a newline convention by starting a pattern string with one of 44- the following five sequences: 45- 46- (*CR) carriage return 47- (*LF) linefeed 48- (*CRLF) carriage return, followed by linefeed 49- (*ANYCRLF) any of the three above 50- (*ANY) all Unicode newline sequences 51- If both the quoted outputs and 'man pcrepattern' are correct, perhaps the 'pcregrep' man page should include some good examples showing how patterns with newlines behave.
