Hi Dear,
I am using grep through cygwin and I found problems
using -f option to search the files. The behavior is
very strange and some times it gives search but
sometime it does not.
I am attaching two files and I am running as this.
grep -f 1.txt 2.txt
Contents of 1.txt
+++++++++++++++++++
test1
test2
test3
test4
+++++++++++++++++++
Contents of 2.txt
++++++++++++++++++++
Hi test1
I am sending test2 for an interview.
Please let me know if test3 will be avialable to
interview test2
thanks
test4
++++++++++++++++++++
The output of grep is
C:\>grep -f 1.txt 2.txt
Hi test1
Please let me know if test3 will be avialable to
interview test2
test4
The problem: It does not show 2nd line and if you play
with 2.txt with different things, the behaviour is
erratic.
Thanks for your help,
Vikram
