Summary: minimal set of strings manifesting bug Keywords: fgrep bug Message-ID: <10544@dhw68k.cts.com> Date: 15 Aug 88 08:13:23 GMT References: <10535@dhw68k.cts.com> Reply-To: bob@dhw68k.cts.com (Bob Best) Organization: Wolfskill residence; Anaheim, CA (USA) Lines: 19 As a follow-up to my earlier posting regarding the bug in fgrep(1), I have isolated the bug down to the following 'minimal' set of strings. In the 'strings' file: abcd cef bg In the 'text' input file: abcef Then, enter the command: fgrep -f strings text If you have the bug, fgrep will fail to match the string 'cef' to the text line. -- Bob Best uucp: ...{trwrb,hplabs}!felix!dhw68k!bob InterNet: bob@dhw68k.cts.com
