Hello Chuck,
thanks for your notes. It seems very strange to me, because GNU grep
produces the same output for me. Apart from this, the -v flag was really
broken, but I applied some fixes before updating the port and in the
version, which I committer, I thought that the -v flag was compatible.
Here is what I get at the moment:
> echo 'fee\nfi\nfoe\nfum' | ./grep -v fi
> echo 'fee\nfi\nfoe\nfum' | /usr/bin/grep -v fi
> /usr/bin/grep -V
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1-FreeBSD

It's still the same, thus I don't understand how you could produce that
output with GNU grep.
I may be stating the obvious, but note that depending on your shell and
it's configuration, echo might not translate \n to an actual newline.
You might need to use `echo -e' instead of `echo' to get four lines
printed instead of one. /bin/sh and bash need it, ksh doesn't, not sure
about (t)csh. Also note that our /bin/echo doesn't know about -e and
will never translate \n to a newline. The following should be more
portable across different shells:
printf 'fee\nfi\nfoe\nfum' | ./grep -v fi
printf 'fee\nfi\nfoe\nfum' | /usr/bin/grep -v fi
Indeed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo -e 'fee\nfi\nfoe\nfum'
fee
fi
foe
fum
[EMAIL PROTECTED] echo -e 'fee\nfi\nfoe\nfum' | grep -v fi
fee
foe
fum
