Package: grep Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-2 Followup-For: Bug #238237
Not only does "grep -P" not work, but the manual page says it will: -P, --perl-regexp Interpret PATTERN as a Perl regular expression. This is highly experimental and grep -P may warn of unimplemented features. $ grep -P "foo" grep: Support for the -P option is not compiled into this --disable-perl-regexp binary I really hope bug #350468 gets fixed, so that debian grep can support the -P option. - Tyler -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages grep depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries grep recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
