(I'm not sure if I can post to this list via nntp/gmane...)
grep'ping for a byte offset always returns 0 for the result.
Searching "FreeBSD Bugzilla – Bug List" shows no other reports.
Ubuntu 16.04:
jonesy@nix5:~$ a='now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party'
jonesy@nix5:~$ echo $a | grep -b -o good
24:good
FreeBSD 12.1
[jonz~]a='now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party'
[jonz~]echo $a | grep -b -o good
0:good
I have just now created a login at bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/
and reported this bug there, but I am unsure if I did it all
correctly. :-)
Can someone confirm my findings?
Thank you,
Jonesy
