 |
|
I was using the following command to grep KDE related themes in portage:
| Code: |
# eix -ncC x11-themes | grep -i "kde"
|
It was working until 5 minutes ago... instead of giving the expected output of all lines matching "KDE", I get this:
| Code: |
# eix -ncC x11-themes | grep -i "kde"
Binary file (standard input) matches
|
I'm assuming that there's some weird ascii character somewhere in the output. Anyone know how to filter them out? I don't know why it suddenly stopped working.

Not sure what's causing it, but you can get it working again by adding the -a parameter to grep. | Code: | | eix -ncC x11-themes | grep -ai "kde" |
Edit: Or use something like | Code: | | eix -ncC x11-themes -sSp "*kde*" |

Yeah... thanks. I found the '-a' option in 'man grep'. It works again. I don't know why it stopped working all of a sudden though... The 'eix -ncC x11-themes -sSp "*kde*" ' works though. Thanks for the tip.
