Thanks for you report. Indeed, grep -P and UTF-8 are not happy with non-valid UTF-8 inputs. This works: $ printf 'ñ' | LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 grep -P 'ñ' ñ This reports error: $ echo 'ñ' > /tmp/test $ LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 grep -P -r 'ñ' /tmp/ /tmp/test:ñ grep: invalid UTF-8 byte sequence in input But it works if I don't use UTF-8 LC_ALL=C grep -P -r 'ñ' /tmp/ /tmp/test:ñ Binary file /tmp/tmp54ca5e73.tmp matches ... I'll work on it as soon as possible. Best regards, Santiago -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
