n00b question here heh...
I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/grep.html
and in the example
Quote:
>cat file
big
bad bug
bag
bigger
boogy
Wildcards #1
>grep "b.*g" file
big
bad bug
bag
bigger
boogy
Wildcards #2
>grep "b.*g." file
bigger
boogy
repetition
>grep "ggg*" file
bigger
|
my computer does not return the expect result for Wildcards #2:
Quote:
grep "b.*g." file
big
bad bug
bag
bigger
boogy
|
then i made a file with many lines (no characters) and grep'ed it for ".", and came back with all the lines
can someone tell me how to turn this period-matching-new-line off?
