Sounds like a it could be a line ending issue where grep is expecting \n
(^J) at the end of a line but is being fed \r\n (^M^J).
Does
$ od -c tmp
show \r\n line endings?
How do the following work for you?
$ grep '1.$' tmp
and
$ grep -v '^.$' tmp

Subject: grep: $ in PATTERN doesn't seem to work properly
Hi,
When $ is used in the PATTERN of grep command, it doesn't seem to work
properly on my machine.
I have run the following under cygwin.bat shell.
$ cat tmp
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5
$ grep '1$' tmp
(Gives no output. It should give output as
Line 1)
$ grep -e '1$ tmp
(Gives no output. It should give output as
Line 1)
$ grep -v '^$' tmp
(Gives no output. It should give output as
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5)
I am also attaching the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r". Can someone please
tell what's going wrong? Install problem or other?
Thanks,
Seshasai
