Cygwin's grep appears to give incorrect results when given the -i option in combination with the --color=auto and/or -o options.
For example, grep --color=auto You /etc/motd prints the line You are successfully logged in to this server!!! as expected, with "You" in red. However, while grep --color=auto -i you /etc/motd prints the same line, "You" is not colored. As another example, grep -o You /etc/motd prints just You as expected, but grep -o -i you /etc/motd prints nothing. Those option combinations work correctly with /bin/grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1 on a machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4. $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 tc-merlin 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin $ which grep /usr/bin/grep $ cygcheck -c grep Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status grep 2.5.1a-4 OK Regards, Gary -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
