Oh my, that's embarrasing. I seem to have copy-pasted badly - what I get
when I make my testing overly complicated. Here's a simpler testing suite:
I would think that by asking for 2 matching lines and 3 lines of trailing
context, I would get 3 lines no matter what, even if there was another
coincidental match?
#! /bin/bash
test=$'1 search
2 search
3 search
4 context
5 context
6 context'
wanted=$'1 search
2 search
3 search
4 context
5 context'
received=$'1 search
2 search'
[[ $( echo "$test" | grep -m 2 -A 3 search ) == $wanted ]] && echo Pass ||
echo Fail
[[ $( echo "$test" | grep -m 2 -A 3 search ) == $received ]] && echo Should
not happen but it does
# I'm using:
# grep (GNU grep) 2.27
