As of Oct. 16th, grep -P is still not available in Gusty. Grep is a common package with a standard man page. Grep isn't broken, Ubuntu is. It is necessary for many scripts used in corporate environments. Additionally, the ease at which someone can return a match (such as "grep -P -o -e '/regex/'") makes it an important tool.
Also, recommendations to use sed and perl itself are horrible. Each of these tools have benefits over each other for different applications. Perhaps this can actually be fixed? -- grep -P is not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/15051 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
