You upgraded grep. This is an intentional change in behavior in the newest grep. Work around it by using 'grep -a' or 'LC_ALL=C grep'. Basically, the POSIX definition of a binary file includes any file that is encoded incorrectly for the current locale, and since your current locale is (probably) UTF-8 encoding, any file (such as note.html) that assumes some other encoding (probably Latin-1 8-bit encoding) will be treated as binary unless you request -a or change locales. -- -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
