Putting myself into the shoes of a naive reader, I have to wonder what happens when there are multiple matching parts on the same line. I know the answer from your commit message, but maybe that should be covered here? Maybe: Output only the matching part of the lines. If there are multiple matching parts, each is output on a separate line. -Peff
