Dear all, After a BSD hiatus of many years, I am tinkering with FreeBSD again. = I=E2=80=99ve run into some strange issue with grep and beginning of line = (^) anchoring: =E2=80=94 % echo "1234 1234 1234" | egrep -o '^=E2=80=A6.' 1234 123 4 12 % echo "123412341234" | egrep -o '^....' 1234 1234 1234 =E2=80=94 Any idea what is going on here? (Recent GNU grep from ports gives the expected output.) With kind regards, Dani=C3=ABl de Kok Ps., grep on OS X, which seems to be the same version has similar = problems=E2=80=A6=
