I have log files that contain user input which sometime has carriage returns. The EOL characters are fine so I can't throw mac2unix at the problem. The issue is that when grep outputs the CR it follows the CR to the beginning of the output buffer and overwrites the contents of the output buffer. E.g. the file, test.log with the following contents. messag1^Mlogin^Mmask The following command $>/grep --color=never login test.log Outputs as follows $>maskng1 This seems like a security concern as you may be able to mask activity in logs just by inserting CR in place. It would be superficial but it would fool basic grep based logfile processing. I would expect the CR to be output verbatim so as not to confuse the reader of the output. -- Regards Wayne --089e082ef7481d5b77056591a0da Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">Hi<div><br></div><div>I have an issue with files that cont= ain carriage returns.

It is probably acting quite correctly, the problem is that the shell executing those control characters is both confusing and a possible security risk. I've tried this in ksh, dash, bash and zsh and they all execute the control characters. I think that they should be suppressed or escaped by default and a flag should be provided to allow them to be passed out unescaped. Maybe this has become a feature request...
