  • CR or LF changed to CRLF when pasted into Notepad++

    An isolated Carriage Return (without following Line Feed) in the clipboard is changed to CRLF when pasted into Notepad++. Likewise, an isolated LF (without preceeding CR) in the clipboard is changed to CRLF when pasted into Notepad++. To reproduce bug, enter e.g. eeee LF eeee into Notepad++ with "Show End of Line" selected. Then copy this text and paste it elsewhere in the same file. The...

  • Bug: WindowManager v1.2 UNI crashes Notepad++

    Hi, WindowManager v1.2 UNI crashes Notepad++ v5.1.1 Unicode when opening any file without a file extension. (E.g. rename any textfile foo.txt to foo and try to open it with Notepad++.) CPU: Athlon 2000+ OS: Windows 2003 Server sp2 32bit Thanks very much for WindowManager. Friendly Greetings, Larry.

  • tac 5.3.0.1936 stdin broken

    Configuration: tac 5.3.0.1936 (from GnuWin32 Coreutils 5.3.0.1936) on Windows Server 2003 sp2 x86 Bug: tac 5.3.0.1936 breaks when input file > ~4K piped into standard input Examples: 1. cat foo | tac > bar Completely broken regardless of foo's size.

  • sed-4.1.5: w and W don't function as escapes inside [ ]

    Bug: \w (word character) and \W (nonword character) don't function as escapes inside character classes. Inside character classes, sed treats \w as literal `\' followed by literal `w'. Likewise for \W Example: `echo file~1.txt|sed -r s/[\w~.]+/foo/' returns `filefoo1.txt', not `foo' as expected Workaround: Inside character classes, replace \w with A-Za-z0-9_ ; e.g. `echo file~1.txt|sed -r...

  • sed-4.1.5: x5c and x26 not handled literally

    Bug: sed-4.1.5 doesn't handle \x5c and \x26 literally. Rather, sed handles these objects the same as the special regex symbols they stand for. Therefore, there is no point in using \x5c or \x26. 1. Sed-4.1.5 treats \x5c as an escape, not a literal `\' as expected a. Example (matching): `echo path\.ext|sed s/\x5c./#/' returns `path\#ext', not `path#ext' as expected b. Example (replacement):

  • sed-4.1.5: regex . doesn't match ascii null (x0)

    Bug: regex . doesn't match ascii null (\x0) but matches all other extended ascii characters \x1 - \xff. Consequence: .* (or .+) doesn't match entire line which contains an ascii null. Example: `echo bar|sed "s/a/\x0/;s/.*/foo/"' returns `foor', not `foo' as expected Workarounds 1. (exact): replace . with (.|\x0); e.g. `echo bar|sed -r "s/a/\x0/;s/(.|\x0)*/foo/"' returns `foo' 2.
