Hi,

I appologize for my delay, I totally missed this thread, sorry.

I just tested it, it works! So,

Tested-by: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>


But, I still don't understand the behavior of 'grep -abo',
please try the following commands:

echo -e '\x01\x02\x03\x04' > test.bin
od -x test.bin
tr $'\x01\x02\x03\x04' '1234' < test.bin | grep -abo '4'


Am I missing something here??

Thanks.
