I've created a text file (in Windows) with the text patterns I wish to search for. Using the -f switch, grep only searches for the last pattern in the file. If there is a blank line at the end, grep finds nothing.
grep -a -A 4 -f pattern.txt my.file > output.txt Any suggestions to get this to work?
