I've tested the script with grep 2.5.1, and it works for me. Can you be more specific about what you think is wrong with the offsets? You need to be aware of the fact that because "tr" replaces the first character of the pattern by a newline, an offset will be 1 higher than the start of the original pattern. The resulting offsets are therefore 1-based instead of 0-based, which is exactly what "tail" expects for the "-c" option. -- Dick -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
