--- Begin Message ---Hello. I received this from the Debian bug system: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Douglas A. Augusto <daaugu...@gmail.com> To: sub...@bugs.debian.org Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 03:07:52 -0300 Subject: Bug#598168: tre-agrep fails to match strings in ISO-8859 files containing accented characters Package: tre-agrep Version: 0.8.0-2 Suppose we have an ISO-8859 file, lets call it iso-8859.txt, containing those three lines below: first line something here á something else last line Notice that there is an accented letter (á, "a acute") in the second line. The command % tre-agrep first iso-8859.txt returns 'first line' (exit code = 0), which is correct. But both of the following commands % tre-agrep something iso-8859.txt % tre-agrep last iso-8859.txt return nothing (exit code = 1). For the sake of comparison, the standard 'grep' matches correctly all of those three commands above. The file iso-8859.txt is just a minimal working example to demonstrate this wrong behaviour of tre-agrep. The reported issue was found when I was running something like 'find . | tre-agrep "string"' on a directory (ext4 filesystem) containing file names with accented characters and I realized that something was wrong, i.e, some files having "string" in their names were never shown through tre-agrep. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Later, the submitter adds: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I forgot to say that tre-agrep works as expected if the presented 3-line example file is encoded in utf-8. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- So: Is this a bug, or is the file supposed to be always in UTF-8? (Is this documented?) Thanks.
