Description David Nečas 2002-08-26 09:19:33 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/0

Description of problem:
The -o option causes patterns to be always matched case-sensitive, regardless of -i.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo 'Catch me!' | grep -i catch
2. echo 'Catch me!' | grep -o -i catch
3. echo 'Catch me!' | grep -o -i Catch
	

Actual Results:
1. Catch me!
2. (nothing)
3. Catch

Expected Results:
1. Catch me!
2. Catch
3. Catch

Additional info:

Important is step 2., the other (1., 3.) shows -i and -o work alone.

This is not a RawHide problem, grep-2.5.1-1 from 7.3 seems to suffer the same
problem.

Comment 8 Thomas Steudten 2004-03-10 22:02:39 UTC 
Sorry, some browser-back problem..

There´s another problem in the -oi and --color context with uppercase
expression. 
Test with: echo "one tEst here" | grep -X -i --color=auto TEST and
with -o, where X:none,F,G,E,P.
-F,-P are fine.
Add patch to fix this.
Comment 9 Tim Waugh 2004-03-11 12:29:36 UTC 
Thomas, please open a separate bug report for this.

Also, you need to be more specific about what the problem is, including:

- the version number (and release) of the package you tried
- the exact options you use (enumerate the command lines)
- the output you *get*
- the output you *expect*

Thanks.

Replace my patch from march 10 2004

It´s so buggy here. My patch from yesterday march 10 was shadowing a local
variable. Test runs fine, but I re-checked it today and fix it.
Hower, I´ll open a new bug report for this..
