Package: grep Followup-For: Bug #350206 I guess this is the same problem.
piper:~> echo $'\353' ë piper:~> echo $'\353' | grep -q . || echo no match && echo match no match piper:~> locale | grep CTYPE LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 piper:~> echo $'\353' | LC_CTYPE=latin1 grep -q . || echo no match && echo match match I have a unicode locale and $'\353' is the latin1 representation of ë, which is single-byte. This is, I believe, the cause why grep, in a unicode environment, fails to match . against single-byte characters. I think grep's . should match single-byte characters even in multibyte environment. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
