When doing man grep it blurted out many <##> hex codes. If I unset LANG, LANGVAR I get extended ascii. I am using teraterm to connect via ssh.
LANG=en_US.iso885915 LANGVAR=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 TERM=vt100 When using the same setting on RHEL4, the output seems proper. I cannot remember when the man output was last formatted correctly. Any advise on where to check next? $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 phoenix 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-08-20 10:56 i686 Cygwin ======================================================================== GREP(1) User Commands GREP(1) NAME grep, egrep, fgrep <E2><88><92> print lines matching a pattern SYNOPSIS grep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILE...] grep [OPTIONS] [<E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>e PATTERN | <E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>f FILE] [FILE...] DESCRIPTION grep searches the named input FILEs (or standard input if no files are named, or if a single hyphen<E2><80><90>minus (<E2><88><92>^H<E2>ˆ88><92>) is given as file name) for lines containing a match to the given PATTERN.

By default, grep prints the matching lines. In addition, two variant programs egrep and fgrep are available. egrep is the same as grep −E. fgrep is the same as grep −F. Direct invocation as either egrep or fgrep is deprecated, but is provided to allow historical applications that rely on them to run unmodified. OPTIONS Generic Program Information −−help Print a usage message briefly summarizing these commandâ€line options and the bugâ€reporting address, then exit. −V, −−version Print the version number of grep to the standard output stream. This version number should be included in all bug reports (see below). Matcher Selection −E, −−extended−regexp Interpret PATTERN as an extended regular expression (ERE, see below). (−E is specified by POSIX.) −F, −−fixed−strings Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings, separated by newlines, any of which is to be matched. (−F is specified by POSIX.) −G, −−basic−regexp Interpret PATTERN as a basic regular expression (BRE, see below). This is the default. −P, −−perl−regexp Interpret PATTERN as a Perl regular expression. This is highly experimental and grep −P may warn of unimplemented features. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
