Hi,
I had generated a FILE by simply doing a 'find' on a directory and
used grep to cull the results. I wasn't working so I repeated and
tried the following trivial 'grep':
% wc -l FILE
48786
% grep . FILE
2240
Very wrong.
I reverted to version 2.21 and everything now works as expected:
% grep . FILE
48786
@@ grep -v '.' vrf_xxx.txt | wc -l
80
@@ grep '.' vrf_xxx.txt | wc -l

@@ wc -l vrf_xxx.txt

I am content.

Henri
